## Summary

José Luis Bonet, president of the Cámara de España, stressed in Helsinki the need to support Spanish SMEs in adopting artificial intelligence. According to him, AI adoption among Spanish companies with more than ten employees rose from 13% in 2024 to 50% in 2025, but the main challenge concerns micro-businesses, which account for 83% of the country's SMEs. Bonet emphasised two levers: trust and knowledge, both needed for business owners to apply these tools to their business models. He welcomed the role of the public Kit Digital programme, which has supported the digitalisation of more than 500,000 SMEs, as a foundation for a new stage of digital maturity that includes AI. The remarks were made at a bilateral Spain-Finland economic forum.
