A new economic impact report prepared by PwC confirms what the innovation community already knows: South Summit is a global growth engine for entrepreneurship, investment, and ecosystem development. The 2025 report highlights the tangible value generated by South Summit—showcasing its role in shaping a more resilient, inclusive, and forward-looking startup landscape.
With over €14 billion in cumulative investment raised by South Summit startups and thousands of jobs supported, the event is more than a meeting point—it’s a force for economic transformation. The findings reinforce South Summit’s position as a key pillar in Spain’s innovation economy and a bridge to global opportunity.
A Growth-Driven Ecosystem That Works
According to the PwC study, the 2025 edition of South Summit will generate €39 million in economic activity and support more than 3,400 jobs in Madrid alone. These figures speak to the ripple effect of a strong entrepreneurial ecosystem—where founders, investors, and institutions don’t just meet, they build together.
Madrid continues to shine as one of Europe’s most active startup hubs, and South Summit plays a strategic role in attracting international capital and talent to the city.
A Launchpad for Scalable Innovation
The report also shows that startups participating in South Summit see real results. Finalists in the 2024 edition increased their funding by 63% after the event—highlighting South Summit’s unique ability to accelerate venture growth. For Spanish startups, the effect was even stronger, with post-event funding nearly doubling.
This isn’t just momentum—it’s measurable value creation.
