A top-level activities programme: FEINDEF 23 will have an ambitious programme of conferences, round tables and forums in which national and international experts will discuss the challenges in Europe and adjacent regions, encompassing alliances and international cooperation. This programme will be led by some of the most relevant figures from the field of defence and industry, but also from education, politics or research.

Innova for Def & Sec, a benchmark for innovation and entrepreneurship: Aware of the importance that startups have for the economic and social development of our country, the FEINDEF Foundation introduces in the III edition of this reference event for Defence and Security in our country, a space dedicated exclusively to innovation and entrepreneurship in said area.

Innova for Def & Sec was born as an embryo of the Defence and Security entrepreneurial ecosystem so necessary in our sector and with a clear vocation to support young talent. It is conceived to become a national and international benchmark in the field of innovation and entrepreneurship for “dual-use” solutions and technologies and an annual meeting point for entrepreneurs and innovative companies interested in the Defence and Security market.
