Start Up Spain

Pro-entrepreneurship companies. Initiatives that boost the entrepreneurial ecosystem in Spain

The Rafael del Pino Foundation, in collaboration with Esade Business School, organised the sixth edition of Start Up Spain on 11 July 2013. This edition brought together managers and executives from Spanish and foreign multinationals that actively promote the entrepreneurial ecosystem in our country through various initiatives developed by business corporations, such as awards, training, financial support, etc.

The Round Table entitled "Initiatives that boost the entrepreneurial ecosystem in Spain". Three questions were asked: How do companies support innovation and the creation of start-ups? What lessons can we learn in Spain so that more initiatives of this kind spread? And what role do these initiatives play in times of crisis?
