South Summit Brazil to be held 20-22nd of March 2024

South Summit, the leading event for the global entrepreneurship and innovation ecosystem, co-organised by IE University, will hold its third edition in Brazil between the 20th and 22nd of March 2024. South Summit will be held, once again, in Porto Alegre with the aim of creating real business opportunities between investors, corporations and startups, as well as generating high-value connections between the Brazilian and Latin American innovation ecosystem and the rest of the world.

As a starting point, María Benjumea, founder and president of South Summit, and Gabriel Souza, vice-governor of the State of Rio Grande do Sul, co-organiser of South Summit Brazil, signed the collaboration agreement at South Summit Madrid for this third edition of South Summit Brazil.

South Summit Brazil 2024 expects to exceed the figures of this year's edition, which brought together more than 22,000 attendees, including more than 3,000 entrepreneurs from all over the world willing to generate real business opportunities. The event was also attended by more than 900 speakers and 100 investment funds with a portfolio of 123 billion dollars.

The Startup Competition will be held once again and the winner will join those from the previous two editions: the Spanish startup Airway Shield, which won this year's edition due to their development of the world's first endotracheal intubation (ETI) medical device, making it a safe technique for both patients and professionals, and the Brazilian startup Yours Bank, an app for families that offers a prepaid Visa card to children and young people to help raise financial awareness.
