At the presentation ceremony of South Summit Madrid 2023, held today in Madrid, María Benjumea stated that “from the very beginning of South Summit, our idea was to change mentalities in order to go global. The world has no borders, and our commitment has always been collaboration and innovation in a global context. We are convinced that there is nothing better than connecting regions and taking innovation from Spain to new places”.

Benjumea also emphasized during the event that “South Summit will always be the place where we find business opportunities for all the players in the entrepreneurial ecosystem, but always from a human and global point of view”. She referred to ‘Today 2030’, the slogan that will open the next edition of South Summit Madrid 2023, as “taking care of the planet is fundamental and we have many challenges ahead of us to achieve it, but there are also many opportunities that the objectives of the 2030 Agenda bring”.

The president and founder of South Summit also wanted to applaud the consensus with which the Startups Law has been approved, a regulation that “is already becoming an international benchmark. A catalyst for companies, a great mechanism for attracting talent and investment”.

With these objectives, South Summit reaffirms itself as a global benchmark for startups, investors, and other players in the entrepreneurial ecosystem. While the value of the global entrepreneurial ecosystem as a whole has decreased by 2.3% in 2022, the Spanish ecosystem has not only resisted but has increased its value by 8.6%, reaching 93,000 million dollars in 2022, as explained by Alberto Tornero and Jordi Esteve, partners at PwC Spain in the presentation of their report The socio-economic contribution of South Summit in Spain’.decreased

The good figures for Spanish startups are also reflected in their number and employability. Specifically, in 2022 the entrepreneurial ecosystem in our country was made up of 12,041 startups (8% more than in 2021), which employ nearly 160,000 people (+14%). With all this, Spain remains the fourth European country with the highest number of startups, only surpassed by the United Kingdom, France and Germany.

The Vice President of IE University, Juan José Güemes, insisted that “South Summit 2023 will generate economic activity of around 30 million euros. The data from the study shows us the opportunity for growth of the entrepreneurial ecosystem in its quest to attract talent and generate wealth and employment.” ,

Madrid, one of Europe’s leading hubs

Madrid consolidates its place as one of many predominant European innovation hubs in accordance with the PwC report, with an ecosystem made up of roughly 2,500 startups that generated round 37,000 jobs throughout 2022 and raised round €1.28 billion. It’s also the fourth European metropolis when it comes to the variety of exits above 100 million euros and the fifth when it comes to the variety of enterprise capital funding rounds.

In light of these figures, the Mayor of Madrid, José Luis Martínez-Almeida, who presided over the presentation of the new edition of South Summit, stressed that “the City Council will continue to support this global event and thank María Benjumea for everything she has done for this city and for being the true accelerator of entrepreneurship. 2012, the year of its first edition, marked a before and after for Madrid, which is already in the TOP5 in Europe”.

Carme Artigas, Secretary of State for Digitalisation and Artificial Intelligence, also thanked María Benjumea for her insistence and her work to promote the approval of the Startups Law and to bring the entire entrepreneurial ecosystem together to achieve this goal. Artigas has publicly proposed to María Benjumea that, “taking advantage of the next ESNA (European Startup Nations Alliance) meeting, South Summit should play a leading role and present what is being done in Spain, while strengthening links with Europe and Latin America”.

Furthermore, Javier Fernández-Lasquetty, Minister of Economy, Finance, and Employment of the Community of Madrid, stressed that “we are in a more vibrant time than ever and it is going to grow. The contribution of value made by South Summit, and especially María Benjumea, is absolutely decisive. The figures tell us so. When the review and the documentary are made on ‘how the entrepreneurial ecosystem grew within the Community of Madrid’, South Summit will certainly be there”.
