A delegation of 28 Irish startups is set to showcase cutting-edge AI and tech innovations at Web Summit 2026. Eighteen companies seek over €30 million investment to fuel international growth and expand in sectors from cybersecurity to life sciences.
Enterprise Ireland is spearheading a delegation of 28 Irish startups at Web Summit 2026, with 18 companies collectively targeting €30.45 million in investment to accelerate their expansion and global reach.
The startups will exhibit at the Ireland Pavilion, representing diverse technologies including artificial intelligence, fintech, cybersecurity, regulatory compliance, sustainability, construction, life sciences, and enterprise software. AI is a key focus, with many firms developing tools to enhance productivity, automate complex workflows, and address growing demands for security, governance, and regulatory adherence.
Several companies plan to announce new products, partnerships, and commercial achievements during the event, underscoring the expanding international footprint of Ireland’s early-stage tech sector.
AnnaMarie Turley, Head of Enterprise Solutions at Enterprise Ireland, remarked, "The Irish startups at Web Summit highlight the depth of innovation and global ambition within our early-stage portfolio. AI is unlocking opportunities across numerous industries, and these founders are delivering practical solutions to real-world challenges, spanning cybersecurity, compliance, financial services, construction, and sustainability."
She added, "With 18 companies seeking nearly €30 million in funding, Web Summit is a vital platform to connect with international investors, clients, and partners. Enterprise Ireland remains dedicated to supporting these ambitious firms as they scale globally."
The delegation emphasises the growing demand for technologies that bolster security, governance, and compliance as AI becomes integral to business operations. Companies such as ComplyLoft, Veridraft, and Picari assist organisations in strengthening regulatory compliance and corporate governance, while startups like RiskCortex apply AI to life sciences regulations and Resilium develops cybersecurity solutions for industrial settings.
Other firms including Digitax, Otis, and GreenTally offer AI-driven tools tailored for smaller businesses, simplifying daily operations. Additionally, the delegation features innovators across sectors: Nexus Inclusion advances digital accessibility; Finperiti and Intelligenz tackle anti-money-laundering and life sciences regulation; Maximo, FYBRUS, and Broc AI innovate in pensions, payments, and personal finance; while Nerium Technology, AudioCoach.ai, Watt Footprint, and Globally Verified bring fresh solutions in sports tech, music production, energy management, and supply-chain resilience.
This delegation builds on a strong investment climate in Ireland’s AI sector. According to recent PitchBook data shared by Enterprise Ireland, Irish AI companies have attracted €947 million in venture capital since early 2025, placing Ireland second in Europe per capita for AI venture capital deals in 2026.
