Who’s behind the South Summit?

South Summit, the beginnings.

Spain Startup was founded in 2012, amidst the economic crisis, as a joint initiative with IE Business School with the conviction that entrepreneurs were the driving force to reactivate the economy.

In 2014, we broadened our reach to prove to the world the talent, the innovation and the opportunities from the South creating South Summit.
