AGP Executive Report
Last update: 5 hours agoSME Pressure Point: Spain’s agri-food sector is making its case for more economic support: FIAB says food and beverages drive 2.5% of Spain’s GVA, employ nearly 500,000 via Social Security, and are dominated by 27,000 firms (76% SMEs, many in rural areas) — but public backing still lags the sector’s weight. Startup Funding: Naturr, a Spanish startup digitising the agri-food supply chain, closed a €620,000 round (plus an ENISA-backed loan) to expand its platform and speed up growth by improving transparency and linking producers with professional buyers. Sovereign Tech Push: FOSSA Systems raised about $10.5m to scale its satellite connectivity constellation, aiming to move beyond small picosatellites toward larger cubesats for sovereign communications and intelligence, with Spain-linked support via SETT. Digital Connectivity for Business: Iberia launched Starlink-powered onboard WiFi on its first aircraft, offering free gate-to-gate connectivity up to 500 Mbps—useful for business travellers and remote work on the move. Regulation Debate: Vox unveiled a deregulation program targeting what it calls excessive bureaucracy across business, labour, energy, and industry, arguing it’s holding back growth and initiative.
