Madrid - Indra, a leading global engineering technology company for the aerospace, defence and mobility sectors, will be Global Sponsor of FEINDEF 23 (International Defence and Security Exhibition of Spain) which will take place in Madrid on May 17th, 18th and 19th, 2023. With this announcement, Indra becomes the main sponsor of one of the main events of the defence and security sector in Europe.
Indra's interest in applying for the category of Global Sponsor of FEINDEF 23 is evidence of the increasing global importance of the Spanish International Defence and Security Exhibition (FEINDEF) in an international context of unstability in which the European Union is redefining its defence policy with the aim of becoming a stronger and a more effective security provider capable of protecting its citizens and contributing to international peace and safety.
"We are very pleased to see the great acceptance that the different degrees of sponsorship have had among the companies in the Defence and Security sector, whom we are grateful for their participation and collaboration from the very beginning. It is an honor to have Indra as a Global Sponsor, one of the leading global technology companies that hold a distinguished role in the industry that drives the new Europe of Defence", assures Ramón Pérez Alonso, CEO of FEINDEF Foundation.
"An event like Feindef promotes the international projection of the Spanish industry and, in our case, it is an opportunity to consolidate Indra's role as a strategic company for the construction of the Europe of Defence. The support to this exhibition is decisive to position our country in the large international consortiums that develop the technologies that will mark the future, in which Indra plays a decisive role, with participation in almost 40 of them and as leader of some of the most important ones", emphasized Indra's CEO, Ignacio Mataix.
In its aim to become one of the reference exhibitions in Spain and Europe, FEINDEF 23 will have an exhibition space of almost 40,000 square meters, more than 450 exhibitors from 20 countries and more than 100 international delegations, exceeding the figures of previous editions.
FEINDEF 23 is experiencing a very positive evolution in the marketing of its spaces for the third edition that will take place on May 17th, 18th and 19th, 2023 at IFEMA (Madrid). With just over nine months to go, more than 60% of the available space has already been reserved, with the main companies in the sector attending.
An example of public-private collaboration and an international benchmark
FEINDEF 23 is an outstanding example of public-private collaboration that is considered one of the main meeting points where scientists, academics, universities, government and industry professionals, Armed Forces, State Security Forces and Corps, public and private organizations, PRIs, etc. can share information, knowledge and experiences and exchange ideas on the latest technological trends in a leading field in terms of innovation and knowledge creation that is transferred to other industrial sectors.
Organized by the Feindef Foundation, FEINDEF 23 is the only exhibition in Spain in the Defence and Security sector institutionally supported by the Ministry of Defence, and is recognized as the most important Defence and Security event held in Spain, which opens up to the world by offering new business opportunities.
