The South Summit will take place in Madrid on the 8-10 of October, and will be the major meeting point of startups from the South of Europe, the Mediterranean and Latin America with top tier international investors, media and corporate.

We started in 2012 with Spain Startup & Investor Summit, and in two years we became the leading startup conference in the South of Europe. With 4000 attendees, 2000 entrepreneurs and more than 300 investors, we created a unique platform for the startups selected for the Startup Competition. Startups that since the first edition of the Summit have raised more than €30 million and closed strategic partnerships with big corporations.
