#Spain’s #regulatory environment continues to challenge founders and investors who aim to build within its borders. In our latest article, “Spain: When Bureaucracy Becomes the Enemy of #Innovation,” we analyze how complex tax procedures and the “pay-before-appeal” principle discourage #entrepreneurship and foreign capital. Without #legal clarity and trust in due process, innovation cannot thrive. Sustainable growth depends on a system that empowers — not penalizes — those driving economic progress.  Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/dvSmDcSJ

💡 Brynsights from TOKEN2049 💡 Tech side Cardano is buzzing with innovation, from quantum computing to biomedical science and a host of creative builds across its growing stack. The ecosystem looks very healthy right now and the booth was a real rabbit hole of product demos. Thanks to the Input Output (IOHK) team for the paperback copy of Mastering Cardano. I can’t wait to get stuck in! For the Cardano curious, the e-book is here: https://lnkd.in/ewRG5Yid Explore the ecosystem: https://lnkd.in/eXXR7wQn Event side Not everything glittered. There were still a few questionable projects on show with shaky economics or dubious backers. A bit of risk intelligence on sponsors would help protect Token2049’s reputation for next year. This platform is ideal to show Singapore’s regulators that blockchain can deliver benefits, not headaches. Otherwise, we risk seeing more headlines like this: https://lnkd.in/ePEtVvuT Followed by headlines like this: https://lnkd.in/ebKG2eiN Investment side Overall, Token2049 was all about opportunity. Founders and VCs connected in abundance. We were proud to showcase our clients RYTchain, Stratus, Cipher and Overlayer to partners from Denarii Labs / Redbeard Ventures, IBC Group - International Blockchain Consulting, Master Ventures, Foundation Ventures Group, TPC Ventures and Ventus Partners at our side event. The format worked brilliantly, although it had me sprinting about like a whirling dervish. We will definitely repeat it with a few tweaks to preserve my legs. 🕺 P.S. To those left outside due to capacity limits: so sorry. Next time you’ll know to arrive early for Hacken events. 😜 Builders side Build-a-thons are a great way to incentivize builders to keep building as grant money is divested in drip format. AKINDO is leading the way here: https://app.akindo.io/ Looking forward to the next Token2049!
