The entrepreneurial ecosystem of Lanzarote and La Graciosa shows a positive growth rate. The Single Business Window (VUE-PAE) of the Chamber of Commerce, funded by the Government of the Canary Islands and the Cabildo of Lanzarote, has managed the creation of over a hundred new companies and self-employed individuals this year. This tool is consolidating as a key reference point for new business projects, reducing initial times and costs.
The VUE-PAE centralizes general business registration procedures. Through the Single Electronic Document (DUE), entrepreneurs can complete their registration with the State Tax Administration Agency (model 036), the Canary Islands Tax Agency (model 400), and the Special Regime for Self-Employed Workers (RETA) of the Social Security in a single step. The Chamber also offers continuous advice on tax and labor obligations, and access to current grants.
The consolidation of new projects reflects solid institutional coordination and co-financing from the Directorate General for Economic Promotion and Diversification of the Government of the Canary Islands and the Cabildo of Lanzarote. Both administrations collaborate with the Chamber to foster self-employment, modernize productive sectors, and simplify traditional barriers to local entrepreneurship.
“"With these actions, we are supporting entrepreneurs, offering them more competitive tools and services that strengthen their activity and consolidate public-private relationships."
Within the framework of digitalization, LEO has been incorporated, an Artificial Intelligence tool developed by the Ministry of Economy, Industry, Trade, and Self-Employed of the Government of the Canary Islands. Available on the public portal Emprender en Canarias and the Chamber's website, LEO provides personalized assistance based on the economic activity and geographical location, predicts project needs, and connects entrepreneurs more efficiently with different levels of administration.
“"With this initiative, the Canary Islands take a decisive step towards a more modern, efficient, and competitive administrative model, capable of attracting investment, generating employment, and responding to the real needs of society."
The combination of in-person and technological assistance aims to pave the way so that bureaucracy does not hinder economic development.
