## Summary

At the Spain-Finland business forum held in Helsinki during the State Visit of the King and Queen of Spain, the president of the Cámara de España, José Luis Bonet, highlighted the need to support SMEs to accelerate the adoption of artificial intelligence. He said that AI adoption among Spanish companies with more than ten employees rose from 13% in 2024 to 50% in 2025, while noting that 83% of Spanish SMEs have fewer than ten employees, which remains the main challenge. Bonet stressed trust and knowledge as key levers, and pointed to the contribution of the public Kit Digital programme, which has digitalised more than 500,000 SMEs, as a basis for deeper AI adoption.
