Promoting entrepreneurship in Spain

Why?

The Working Group on «the promotion of entrepreneurship in Spain» aims to identify the current financial, bureaucratic and cultural barriers that an entrepreneur in Spain has to face, as well as the different promoters and define the roadmap to which they must face a Spanish startup from its constitution, until its expansion phase, from the point of view of promoters, investors and Administration, in order to identify the weaknesses of the Spanish system, the points in which we are strong and, above all, the initiatives that should be taken to attract promoters, investors and corporations to the generation of new long-term startups.
