This morning, our Executive Director of Strategy, Raül Blanco, joined the Secretary of State for Defense, María Amparo Valcarce, at a breakfast briefing organized by Executive Forum.

During his speech, the Secretary addressed the new Industrial and Technological Plan for Security and Defense, highlighting its key role in modernizing the capabilities of our Armed Forces, strengthening the Defense Technological and Industrial Base (BTID), and promoting skilled employment and innovation in our country.

At SAPA, we firmly believe that technological innovation and knowledge development are the pillars upon which a solid, competitive, and internationally-prominent defense industry must be built.

Thanks to Manuel Escalante (Indra) and Javier Escribano (EM&E) for their participation, and to all attendees for contributing to this space for reflection on the future of defense in Spain and Europe.
