5. DSP‘s subjective Websummit-Observations
The sheer number of talks, Start-ups and topics was great and overwhelming
The audience was very international, subjectively it felt as if Germany was under-
represented, in terms of attendees, speakers, start-ups and in Corporarte Partners
out of 20 Corporate Partners, from Germany only Audi and SAP were present; the majority of sponsors (16)
came from the US with companies like Coca Cola, Ford, Microsoft, amazon etc.
from German listed companies, Audi, SAP and Zalando were present with a large booth at the exhibition
a Director of Bosch Software Innovation participated in a panel
quite a numer of German start-ups were present with their booths (see Start-up section)
As in previous years, the breadth of products and applications was very wide
- ranging from Medical Devices to eCommerce, from Drones to Job-Listings etc.
In talks and discussions, there was some more focus on the On-Demand-Economy
(„Uber of xxx“), the Internet of Things (incl. Drones), Devices, Mobile and Artificial
Intelligence, less focus on things like eCommerce, Advertising and Social
DSP-Partners focused on scanning and discussing with Start-ups at Websummit
