This new Act, which the Government of Spain has drawn up in collaboration with the business ecosystem, "will allow a qualitative leap to be made thanks to the improvements it proposes in terms of the incorporation of companies, administrative simplification, tax breaks and incentives for foreign investment", explained Pedro Sánchez, who argued that "the only way to move forwards is through an innovative business spirit and sustainable technological development".
The President of the Government stressed the need to apply policies that bring together the public and private sectors and, to this end, defined Spain as "a safe, profitable and ambitious destination" for innovative business projects.
Spain: Entrepreneurial Nation 2030
With the aim of transforming the economic, social and environmental model through an entrepreneurial spirit, the government has also appointed a High Commissioner for Spain: Entrepreneurial Nation and has defined a strategy for the coming decade.
The four main goals of this strategy, which Pedro Sánchez listed in his speech, are to speed up the growth in investment in start-ups to pull Spain up to the level of leading countries such as Germany and France; to establish the optimum conditions to attract, maintain and facilitate the development of the best professionals from around the world; to promote the scaling of companies so that business owners think of growing instead of selling, and to invest in a public business sector able to boost innovation, productivity and social inclusion.
