The challenges in the short and medium term are not few, however, the trajectory of Spanish family businesses means that they have the tools to successfully overcome them, as they have demonstrated on previous occasions. This has been the diagnosis that King Felipe VI verbalized when closing the XXVII Family Business Congress held in Santander. “If a simpler and more attractive environment for investments and employment can be fostered in Europe, the social energy and commitment of companies such as family businesses will surely do the rest,” said the monarch.
Felipe VI has collected the analysis prepared minutes before by the former Italian Prime Minister, Enrico Letta, in which he has summarized the content of the report in which he proposes solutions for Europe’s loss of competitiveness compared to China and the US. “In a complex economic context, you face increasing pressure to adapt and differentiate yourself. This is where key aspects such as talent incorporation, openness to innovation and technology adoption play a crucial role.”
