South Summit Experience
Connect, inspire, and accelerate growth. Where, innovative ideas, meaningful connections, and bold opportunities come to life, shaping the future of entrepreneurship and innovation.
Founders x Founders
It’s a movement within South Summit to foster deeper connections and GROWTH among the scale-up founders shaping tomorrow’s industries. By giving founders a space to share, learn, and grow together, we solidify South Summit’s role as the ultimate platform for all stages of entrepreneurial growth.
LP Forum
A series of interactive discussions with private, institutional, and corporate Limited Partners (LPs) and an opportunity to network with the South Summit community of VC investors both local and international. It is a private and exclusive space for the investment community, to share and learn as we discuss investment strategies and opportunities between senior decision makers.
Growth Camp
Growth Camp is a dedicated space for late-stage founders, investors, corporates, and institutions driving the growth ecosystem. It offers intimate discussions on the real challenges of scaling: from financing and expansion to leadership and reinvention. A meeting point for those shaping the innovation of tomorrow.
Leaders Forum
The most exclusive gathering at South Summit, bringing together a select group of leaders and decision-makers including visionary founders from high-impact startups, CEOs of leading global companies, world-class speakers, and top international investors. A unique space to share perspectives on the future, explore new opportunities, and exchange bold ideas with the potential to reshape the world.
vip meetings and lounges
Step into calm, premium spaces away from the crowd to relax, enjoy food and drinks, and meet strategically. VIP Meetings offer private, pre-scheduled 1:1 sessions with leading founders, investors, and executives. Both formats are designed to spark high-value connections and drive real business outcomes.

Relax and recharge at La Nave with live music, great drinks, and the most vibrant informal networking of the event.
