More than 3,000 companies from dozens of countries showcased advanced technology: from companies that certify wood exports via WhatsApp to flying vehicles that are are a cross between multicopter and aeroplane and promise to revolutionise air travel.

00:00They call it the new industrial revolution.
00:03Of the more than 3,000 companies that put their work here at the Web Summit Lisbon 2024,
00:09the majority work in the sector of artificial intelligence.
00:13They put the machines to think and learn to solve the problems of today.
00:19One of the most pressing is the deforestation in Brazil.
00:23The affected area is equivalent to 350 football fields.
00:30UDSHAT is an artificial intelligence that recognizes sawdust and burr.
00:35We do this recognition on WhatsApp.
00:37Our technology is an API verified by META.
00:41In Brazil, this recognition is used to fill the forest document.
00:46It helps the woodworker with this filling so that this wood passes on the federal highway with authorized certification.
00:54In Portugal, we want to take it to the European who buys Brazilian wood.
00:58And he certifies that this wood that comes from Brazil to him is a legalized wood.
01:03Here, artificial intelligence facilitates the life of those who like to travel by relieving the wallet a lot.
01:11Here we have a package of four flights.
01:14Lisbon, Malta, Rome, back to Lisbon.
01:19And this would be for how much, more or less?
01:22200 euros.
01:23Tell me 200 euros.
01:25Yes, yes.
01:26This package of flights, with the trip, we would know how much it would cost.
01:32Helena?
01:33So, look, if it were our platform, you could see that the real price is, through artificial intelligence,
01:40it would be for 66 euros.
01:43Four flights.
01:45We have 70 million flights in a database with convoys and buses.
01:49And in real time, we create combinations with this data with a goal,
01:53which is to basically connect those points with the goal of maximizing the conversion probability.
02:00The software knows everything.
02:01It knows all the prices of all the routes to all the cities in the world.
02:05And it is there to create, in real time, the combinations.
02:08We have millions and millions of possibilities that are more interesting for you as a user.
02:12In the Web Summit, there are also mobility solutions.
02:17This is an urban simulator.
02:19A hybrid model between a helicopter and a plane.
02:23It will allow you to transport people and goods in a faster and less polluting way.
02:29You can see it in the sky in about 10 years.
02:34With the chips and power semiconductors from Infineon, such things, which now look like their future,
02:40can be reality quite soon.
02:42So we are powering up drones, motors, electrical cars, AI data centers,
02:48and we are delivering power to where it's needed.
02:51Robots like this one we see here, the Stela, have great creative potential,
02:56but on the other hand, they can also end up with many jobs.
03:02This is a balance that those in this area are still trying to reach.
03:08We will see you at the Euronews Web Summit in Lisbon.
