Spain's Two-Speed Defense Tech Bet

Spain's defense industrial strategy is being built from two directions at once. On one side, established primes with decades of sovereign capability, deep procurement relationships, and the industrial scale to deliver at speed.

This fireside puts both sides of that equation on the same stage, exploring how Spain is bridging the gap between industrial heritage and startup agility, and what it will take to turn that combination into a genuine competitive advantage for Europe.
