Who’s behind the South Summit?

Our mission is to gather the greatest innovations from Southern Europe & Latam and connect them to some of the regions’ largest customers and investors. We do this through The South Summit, an annual gathering of Southern Europe and Latam´s top talent. With more than 7.000 attendees, including 3.500 entrepreneurs and 450 investors The South Summit has become one of Europe’s most relevant startup up events.

This started from humble beginnings in 2012 when our Founder María Benjumea decided to empower the entrepreneur ecosystem fostering relationships between Startups, Corporations and Investors creating Spain Startup & Investor Summit (SSIS).

In 2014 we incorporated the international markets and we renamed us as “The South Summit” with the aim of becoming the largest showcase of entrepreneurial ecosystem in southern Europe and Latin America.

Since then, our team keeps working to build year by year a meeting point of international relevance, to show to the world the best startups from the south and remain one of the leading startup conferences in Europe.
