The year is coming to an end, and as such, we didn't want to miss the opportunity to bring you our retrospective! 🩷 2024 was a year of growth and consolidation: we landed in Asia and brought the best of Deep Tech & AI to South Korea; we went to discover the best that was being done in the German, British, French, Italian, and Portuguese ecosystems through the Scale-up Series (which will be back in 2025 😉); we returned to Rio Grande do Sul for the third year of South Summit Brazil and Bilbao for South Summit Industry & Energy, and we also brought our whole family together in Madrid for the most international edition ever. Thanking you at these times is not enough for everything we experienced with you throughout this year, but the main thanks goes to the team (part of which you can see in this photo) that leads the Summit, our mission, and the valuable connections for which we are known across the world. 🥰 In 2025 we will continue to bring the best of innovation, entrepreneurship, and generating business around the world. 🌍 We're counting on you for a year to look forward to "In Motion"! 🏔

Startups are the engines of innovation, and the #AI revolution offers limitless opportunities for entrepreneurs, investors, and innovators. 🤖 It's time to seize this moment and harness the power of artificial intelligence but it’s also time to unlock the full potential of your #startup and lead the charge in the next wave of technological progress. To accelerate progress, we need to streamline and harmonize AI regulations, boost investment in research and development, and build robust infrastructures that support AI innovation. These steps are crucial to creating a thriving ecosystem where AI can flourish. Additionally, it’s vital to cultivate AI talent and encourage public-private collaboration. By working together, like we did with Google for Startups this year, we can foster the growth of impactful solutions that will drive sustainable change and push industries forward. Ready to make your mark on the future? 📲
