It's essential not to generalize Spanish startups as SMEs. Many are dynamic, with potential for significant growth and innovation, which distinguishes them from traditional SMEs.

As an entrepreneur, I strongly believe that dedicating private retirement pension funds to investing in startups can fuel innovation and economic growth. Startups are often the birthplace of groundbreaking ideas and technologies. By channeling funds into these ventures, we not only support emerging businesses but also create the potential for higher returns on investment, which ultimately benefits the pension holders. It's a strategic move that aligns long-term financial growth with the entrepreneurial spirit of the European Union.

As an entrepreneur who values innovation and efficiency, I strongly believe that starting a business should be as streamlined as possible. Enabling entrepreneurs to start a business entirely online without the need for physical offices, notaries, or lawyers will foster innovation, reduce costs, and remove barriers to entry. This will lead to a more dynamic and inclusive economy in the EU.

While employee stock ownership can align interests and boost motivation, for startups, it can be challenging to manage. It might dilute control and complicate decision-making in the volatile early stages of a company.

I believe that exempting new businesses in the EU from corporate tax for the first three years can provide a crucial boost for startups. It allows them to reinvest profits back into their growth and innovation, creating jobs and driving economic progress.
