Spanish business entities and public organizations are implementing various models to support small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and startups. Investment firms like Mirai are focusing on industrial investment and long-term management to maintain decision-making centers within the Basque Country, particularly for companies facing succession issues.

Public support continues through Enisa, which provides participatory loans to innovative companies without requiring collateral or equity dilution. Additionally, programs such as España Latam ScaleUp have facilitated connections between Latin American scaleups and European innovation ecosystems, while regional initiatives like the EEN-Andalucía ScaleUP forum aim to link high-growth companies in Andalusia with venture capital and investment banking.
