Abstract

The impact of the COVID-19 on Europe economy has been similar to that produced in the 2008 crisis, even with worse long-term consequences. Most governments have implemented recovery plans similar to those that were then implemented. However, there are differences in the economic impact that require different methodologies which focus on the microenvironment. Entrepreneurs’ sponsorship may help to recover the current socio-economic situation. Simultaneously, technological progress in Artificial Intelligence and Big Data allows the analysis of vast amounts of information and support decision making. This paper shows a brief introduction of entrepreneurship policy in twenty countries after the irruption of the Covid-19 to contextualize, and applies Artificial Intelligence to examine factors whose influence is strong in the survival rate of entrepreneurs within a public support program. Specifically, two types of artificial networks are used: self-organizing maps and multilayer perceptron (respectively, SOM and MLP). After the application of neural networks on a data set of 2,221 entrepreneurs from Andalusia (Spain) and with 769 variables taken during the recovery after the crisis from 2008 to 2012, the prediction in the probability of entrepreneurial survival and business success is shown to be realistic in more than 98% of individuals analysed.
