    The most demanded professions and competences at present did not exist ten or even five years ago". This is one of the statements in the report 'The future of jobs: Employment, skills and strategy of the workforce for the fourth industrial revolution' signed by the World Economic Forum.

The irruption of technology and Industry 4.0 has changed the world of work and entrepreneurship is almost an obligation when it comes to entering the market or breaking through as a successful entrepreneur.

However, that change of mentality has not reached the whole society. Between 2012 and 2016, Spain is ranked as the penultimate country (only behind Bulgaria) in the rate of entrepreneurs . Only 2.6% of people between 18 and 64 years old create their own or shared company that has been running for less than three months, below the European average of 4%, according to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development ( OECD).
