Entrepreneurial Ecosystem Diagnostics of Spain

The OECD has published the report Entrepreneurial Ecosystem Diagnostics of Spain, which analyses the current situation of the entrepreneurial ecosystem in Spain and its capacity to drive innovation, productivity, and economic growth.

The report highlights the positive evolution of the Spanish entrepreneurial ecosystem in recent years, as well as the role of the various actors contributing to its development. At the same time, it underlines the need to continue moving towards a more supportive environment for the creation of new companies, their scaling, and their international expansion.

Among the most relevant aspects, the OECD stresses the importance of having coordinated public policies, improving access to finance at the different stages of the business cycle, strengthening knowledge transfer, and fostering greater collaboration among startups, SMEs, large companies, universities, technology centres, and investors.

The report also emphasises the need to reduce administrative barriers, promote entrepreneurial talent, and strengthen the ecosystem’s capacities to address the challenges of the digital transformation and the green transition.

Overall, the diagnostic provides a comprehensive view of the entrepreneurial ecosystem in Spain and offers guidance to consolidate its development and strengthen its contribution to a more innovative, sustainable, and competitive economy.
