Feel the mix of nature and tech in one place

Over seven days, we will provide you with access to unlimited networking opportunities, panel discussions, campfire talks, investment prospects and much more. Life in the wilderness, where people share the hardships, responsibility and atmosphere of the extremes, has proven to make human connection more profound. SSS ascertains that collaboration between people from different countries, cultures and backgrounds in an informal setting, guided by mentors and business experts, leads to great results. It is absolutely not surprising that the Summit is believed to be “an event where human relationships are built”.
