And we find out about the impact of their arrival.
HOW ?www.startupsmadeinspain.com We’re doing a survey.
We’ll ask as many entrepreneurs as possible:
‘What are the needs and what are the
opportunities, and how can the needs be
addressed, to allow opportunities to flourish
for entrepreneurs in Spain?’
AND THEN ?www.startupsmadeinspain.com
We’ll look at:
Talent, density, culture, capital and regulations.

WHY NOT SPAIN?www.startupsmadeinspain.com Main Problems:
- The language barrier
(Only 22% speak English)
- Fragmentation between clusters, (e.g Barcelona and Madrid)
and talentpools of different skillsets,
(Creatives, Engineers and Business folk aren’t talking).
- Funding
(Legislation makes it hard to take foreign investment).
