All Information

South Summit Madrid Startup Competition is an international startup competition that brings together innovative companies, investors, corporations and entrepreneurs. The 2027 edition will take place in Madrid from 2–4 June 2027. Up to 100 selected startups will have the opportunity to pitch their businesses to international investors and corporate partners, participate in training and mentoring, and compete for five awards. The competition accepts startups from any country and at different stages of development, provided they operate within one of its eligible industry areas. Applications are free. Selected finalists receive two complimentary event tickets, investor matchmaking and a chance to present on the main stage. Travel and accommodation are not covered, so international founders must budget for those costs.
