The Spanish startup ecosystem is evolving with highly skilled entrepreneurs ready to learn from their experiences and rapidly adopt new technologies. With sustainability increasingly integrated into business models, the ecosystem is taking major strides forward! 🌱 60% of our ecosystem consists of serial entrepreneurs, and successful B2B, subscription, and software models are becoming key. Yet, there’s room for growth: patents are still essential for protecting tech innovations, and women’s participation needs to increase to fully leverage our talent base. Another big opportunity? 🚀 Strengthening public administration as clients to help drive startup growth. With only 18% of startups achieving positive EBITDA, it’s time to tackle these challenges together and build a stronger, more inclusive future! 📈 Download our 2024 Entrepreneurship Map here: https://lnkd.in/dEgazXJn
