Lisbon is a great host and Portugal is a great country. It's a fantastic location to host the Web Summit.
Tell us about Porsche SE, what are you guys doing at the Web Summit?
We're really looking for new ideas. As Porsche SE, we have a large share of the VW group and as such we're very interested in the future mobility ecosystem and the future of the industry. We're constantly looking for new enabling technologies to transform our ecosystem and we're investing in those technologies. With a bit of luck, we'll find one or another investment.

Enabling technologies that will make mobility more accessible. On the industrial side, 3D printing could transform the manufacturing of vehicles.
What about today, what are you planning on doing for this last day of the Web Summit?
I just come from a meeting with Al Gore, we talked about the sustainable mobility of the future, it was very exciting bringing people together from different backgrounds and solving some real-world problems and follow up for other meetings for the next couple of days."3D Printing Could Transform Manufacturing of Vehicles", Says Philipp Von Hagen, Porsche's Investment Head
