Why South
Summit?
Our purpose
South Summit was born in 2012. At the time, the economic crisis had darkened the business outlook in Spain, so we grew up with a strong belief: that the entrepreneurial spirit would be the driving force to heal the economy. This is why our objective was (and still is) very clear: to be the reference hub that shapes the future via initiative, entrepreneurship, open innovation and business opportunities.
We have met in Madrid for almost ten years, but we have also seen each other in Bilbao and Valencia, in Mexico and Colombia, in person and online. This year, we will meet again.
This is our purpose. This is our raison d’être.
1.Facilitate innovation
Activating connections among the main actors of the ecosystem, providing a booster platform for everyone. We believe in learning and disrupting through competition, networking and alliances.
2. Matching all profiles
Gathering together the most disruptive startups, the most visionary investors and the most dynamic corporations. Mixing the voice of experience with the entrepreneurial spirit and sharing a common ecosystem.
3. Generate business opportunities
Bringing professionals closer, forming genuine bonds between companies and propelling their image in a long-lasting way. Merging business and innovation in a sustainable environment.
