As explained by Carles Marcos, Country Manager of Qonto Spain “The main reason for not starting a business is the lack of knowledge about how to start. The data shows that the appetite for entrepreneurship is high and no one doubts the existing potential. The bureaucratic obstacles, fortunately minimized with the new Law Create and Grow -and the entry of digital operators in the market, like us-, and ignorance are clearly the brake “.
In fact, according to the latest data from the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor Report, fear of business failure is the main obstacle for 64% of the Spanish population, a percentage well above the rest of the world average of 47%. In the words of Marcos, Qonto Country Manager, “the only way to combat fear is with knowledge and training. Until recently, in fact, there was no specific discipline for entrepreneurs in Spain, something on which all the actors that make up the ecosystem are working intensively”.
To facilitate the attendance of as many interested parties as possible, each and every one of the free events will be broadcast via streaming and will be registered on the platform itself.
