After a successful inaugural edition last year, SME XPO successfully returned for 2023. Run by the Evening Standard and supported by ChromeOS, the show once again provided the perfect environment for ambitious SME founders and decision makers who are looking to scale to gain insights, connect with peers, and explore the latest business solutions.
Innovation has no borders and South Summit, co-organised by IE University, is a great example of this. More than 32,000 startups from 175 different countries, 7 of them unicorns, have passed through its ten editions, generating more than 10.19 billion in revenue and nearly 48,000 jobs. With these excellent figures, and after the good experience of South Summit in Brazil in its second edition, María Benjumea, president and founder of South Summit, has announced that the next objective of South Summit will be its international expansion to Asia and the United States.
South Summit, co-organised by IE University, will have exceptional protagonists from UK in this year’s edition. John Elkington, founder board member and chief pollinator of Volans; Alec Oxenford, co-founder of Alpha Capital; Charlie Harris, COO of Octopus Hydrogen; Pierre Yves-Paslier, Co-founder and Co-CEO of Notpla and Anton Soulier, Founder and CEO of Taster. At South Summit Madrid they will share their concerns and experiences on entrepreneurship.
