Programa Ejecutivo en Estrategia e Industria de Defensa

For decades, the defense and corporate worlds spoke different languages. Today, they share the same playing field as security has now become the strategic variable that is reshaping government, investment and business decisions all across Europe.

The sustained rise in defense spending, the drive for industrial autonomy and the emergence of dual-use technologies, including artificial intelligence, space and cybersecurity, are creating a new wave of opportunities. Capitalizing on these opportunities requires expertise that few executives currently possess: a deep understanding of how the Spanish and European defense ecosystems operate, how projects are financed, the regulatory frameworks governing market access, and the leadership skills needed to navigate environments characterized by high levels of institutional and political sensitivity.

The Programa Ejecutivo en Estrategia e Industria de Defensa is designed for leaders across the corporate, military and institutional spheres who want to navigate each other's worlds with confidence and expertise. Combining geopolitical insight with a practical understanding of the defense ecosystem, the program also offers direct access to a network of influential figures shaping the future of security in Europe.

The intensification of geopolitical conflicts, rapid technological advances and the renewed focus on security and industrial sovereignty are reshaping the roles of governments, businesses and international organizations.

Europe is entering a new era defined by rising defense spending, the pursuit of strategic autonomy, intensifying global technological competition, shifting international alliances and the need to strengthen critical industrial capabilities. With these challenges in mind, the program offers a practical, executive-level perspective on the evolving international landscape, the defense ecosystem, emerging industrial and financial opportunities, regulatory frameworks and public procurement. It also equips participants with the leadership skills needed to navigate complex, high-stakes environments.
