For this, reference was made to the WIPO Global Innovation Index 2022: Switzerland, the United States and Sweden lead the Index ranking, while Spain ranks 29th and a comparative analysis between the two countries, concluding that, in terms of institutions and infrastructures, Switzerland and Spain are not too far apart while, in terms of other parameters of knowledge generation, Switzerland has a certain advantage over Spain.
Next, the impacts of the following regulations were analyzedon the creation and growth of companies, 28 / 2022, of December 21, to promote the ecosystem of emerging companies and 17 / 2022, of September 5, which modifies Law 14/2011, of June 1, on Science, Technology and Innovation.

It seems that the legislator shows a desire to promote the productive fabric of and address issues relevant to the survival of these companies. However, the problems that are present in the day-to-day life of are not completely resolved. During the session some of them were discussed: the Law of Startups It should USA Phone Number have entered into force years ago, the word innovation is mentioned up to 75 times, but what innovation means is not clearly defined, the Law confuses innovator with entrepreneur, etc. Other issues that arose are listed below. During the first years, the startups have to pay 15% of Corporation tax instead of 25%. However, startups almost never make a profit for many years after they are incorporated.
The Law incorporates the deduction in personal income, although it was a measure already regulated in all the Autonomous Communities, with the exception of Murcia. The possibility of requesting from the regulatory administrative authority of its field of activity a temporary trial license for the development of their activities. The license will have a maximum duration of one year (art. 15). A matter to which a good part of the session was devoted was the one related to the role played by venture capitalists and investors. One has the impression that the regulation favors the investor and not the entrepreneur, at the same time that it does not facilitate the hiring of personnel in our country. In this sense, the situation in other countries and more advanced institutions was mentioned, and from which it is possible to take example, how is the caso from Singapore and Israel. In both countries, the legislation tries to respond to the interests of the parties involved -investors and the startup itself-, and revolves around innovation. All these issues were discussed during the session in a lively debate with the attendees.
