AGP Executive Report
Last update: 2 hours agoSpain Startup Reality Check: Spain’s startup boom is real—startup enterprise value topped €110bn and the country sits among Europe’s top markets by investment activity—but the gender gap is still widening: only 17% of founders are women (10% at scaleups), and all-female teams got just 1% of total funding in 2025. SME Innovation Policy: A broader EU debate is pushing back on how “SME” rules are drafted, warning that focusing on firm-size thresholds can miss the slower, supply-chain innovation that keeps many “hidden champions” competitive. Education & Skills Boost: An InvestEU-backed €55m student-financing initiative (with Esade and 4Geeks among partners) aims to help students start without upfront tuition and repay after landing a job—targeting access to education across Spain and other EU countries.
