## Summary

The Spanish government has presented the IA360 Plan, a twelve-month roadmap structured around eight areas and 14 flagship projects. According to INE data cited in the article, 21.1% of Spanish companies with ten or more employees used an AI technology in the first quarter of 2025; the plan targets 55% by 2030. Two instruments target companies directly: the NEURONA network, which will allow AI applications to be tested with companies' data, with a first pilot involving 100 SMEs at the end of 2026 and an extension to 5,000 companies in 2027, and the Bono de Inteligencia Artificial, worth €600 million, reserved for solutions supplied by European technology companies, with a target of 25,000 companies and a fivefold increase in private AI investment by 2030 compared with 2024. The plan also provides for a computing gigafactory, an AI safety institute and a social agreement on the impact of AI on employment.
