FEINDEF, Spain's International Defence and Security Exhibition, was established with a clear mission: defence and security are fundamental pillars for peace, well-being and freedom. The event, backed institutionally by the Ministry of Defence since 2019, has established itself as one of Europe's most significant exhibitions and a key meeting point for governments, industry, universities, and international organisations.
In a complex geopolitical context, where Europe is strengthening its strategic autonomy in defence and NATO plays an essential role in global stability, FEINDEF has become a strategic necessity. The Exhibition covers the six key domains - land, sea, air, space, cyberspace, and cognitive - and promotes internationalisation, technological innovation, and the consolidation of international alliances.
