Spain
Spain is on track for a record year: about 352 AI-named companies in 2026 (134 already formed by 2026-06-13, up 44% on 2025).
🇪🇸 Spain: monthly AI-named company formations
New AI-named companies per month of incorporation in Spain, with major AI model releases marked. The post-ChatGPT acceleration from 2023 is the shared fingerprint. (Data through May 2026. Older months undercount companies since dissolved, so the early baseline is understated; recent months are near-complete.)
🇪🇸 Spain: AI-named company formations by year (2026 projected)
New AI-named companies per year of incorporation. The 2026 bar is solid for companies already formed and lighter for the projected remainder at the Jan-to-May 2026-vs-2025 pace. Dashed lines mark major AI model releases. Older years undercount companies since dissolved (live register), so treat the raw climb as directional; the share is the rigorous measure.
AI-named formations in Spain jumped 3.3x in a single year from 2022 to 2023, the clearest local fingerprint of the post-ChatGPT shift (ChatGPT launched November 2022).
Recent AI-named companies in Spain
- Source: the Spain national company register, current to 2026-06-13.
- An "AI-named company" is one whose registered name signals AI. Every candidate is classified by a language-aware model to remove false positives (for example estate agents, or words that merely contain the letters "AI").
- We hold only the AI-named cohort for Spain (not the full register), so a share-of-all-formations figure is not available; the count and its growth multiple are the comparable measures.
- 2026 is projected from the Jan-to-May 2026-vs-2025 pace applied to 2025; it is an estimate, not a forecast.
- Absolute counts are not comparable across countries (registers differ in what they count); the growth multiple and, where available, the share are the portable measures.
