SevTech at Web Summit 2026 with Enterprise Ireland.
Read Time: 1 min

Our leadership team spent 9–12 November in Lisbon at Web Summit 2026, as one of 28 Irish companies travelling with the Enterprise Ireland delegation.
Web Summit is one of Europe’s largest technology conferences. It brings together founders, investors, enterprise technology leaders, and policymakers from around the world. Travelling as part of the Enterprise Ireland delegation put us alongside a strong group of Irish companies working in AI, cybersecurity, fintech, regulatory technology, and enterprise software. It also opened conversations with people we would not otherwise have met.
Our focus for the week was Forge, our AI-powered software delivery engine. Forge takes a requirement and turns it into production-ready software that is designed, built, tested, and deployed, with a full audit trail throughout. Every design decision is visible before it is built, and the client owns everything Forge produces.
Forge started as our own internal delivery accelerator. We built it to tackle the problems our clients kept describing to us: backlogs that don’t move, and work that costs more than it should to deliver. We still use it on our own projects today. Web Summit gave us the chance to show it to an international audience and hear how technology leaders in other markets approach the same challenges.

We would like to thank the team at Enterprise Ireland, for organising the delegation and bringing such a strong group of Irish companies together. We are grateful for the support Enterprise Ireland continues to give SevTech as we bring Forge to market.
You can find out more about how Forge works at sevtech.ie/forge.
