On June 5th, 6th and 7th, the largest event oriented to the entrepreneurial ecosystem and startups in southern Europe will be held in Madrid. Welcome to the South Summit.

More than 10 years ago, this event was born with a purpose, to be the reference center that shapes the future through initiative, entrepreneurship, open innovation and business opportunities. And today it continues with that same purpose.
