![]() The president of AESMIDE referred to the more than 13,000 million euros of investment for defence but military capabilities are not the only important thing, there must be research in R+D+I and there must be synergies between the military and civilian industries to provide technology and qualified jobs, as the president of AESMIDE explained. He pointed out that in a company there can be returns in the form of profits while also contributing to the security and prosperity of investments. According to Sánchez Revenga, "the war in Ukraine showed the importance of defence and the returns on defence spending". Very little in relation to the figures for China, the United States and Russia, as the president of AESMIDE explained, which affected the technological base of Defence. Between 19, European defence budgets grew by more than 19%. Like other European countries, Spain prioritises investment in defence spending to deal with the management of various crises. He stated that the challenges facing the defence industry focus on ICTs, highlighting three important aspects: industrial fabric, human capital and new technological trends. Gerardo Sánchez Revenga indicated that it is better to face the challenges together and that a solid industrial and technological base is required.

These arguments were the focus of the event organised in Madrid by the Asociación de Empresas Contratistas con las Administraciones Públicas (AESMIDE) under the slogan "The challenges of the industrial and technological base", which was sponsored by entities linked to the sector such as GAHN, Inetum, Fecsa, Oracle and NVLS. ![]() The army requires a greater provision of funds in Spain and greater industrial and technological investment. The North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) and the European Union (EU) have intensified their defence policy by varying strategic objectives and concepts, which gives a higher level of importance, if possible, to the Armed Forces, which require greater investment in Spain. The Russian invasion of Ukraine that began in February 2022 shook geopolitics and continues to affect the world order. The defence sector is vital for any state, as is the case of Spain.
