Gazanfarulla Khan travels from Doha, Qatar to Lisbon, Portugal to attend the 10th edition of Web Summit Lisbon - the main anchor event among all the Web Summit chapters held throughout the year.

Along with highlighting the Lisbon event's significance, the focus for the event has still been on AI and alongside the growing demands for it across industries.

With more than 71,000 attendees also including representation of women in startups, Khan even chimes in on the intersection of technology and Formula 1.

As the calendar year draws to a close, Qatar is also set to host WSJ Tech Live Qatar and MWC Doha in the coming weeks. Plus, we expand a bit more on our next episode related to job hunting in the Middle East region.
