GMV is part of the Fundación Círculo’s delegation in its audience with HM the King of Spain

On the occasion of the 40^th anniversary of the Fundación Círculo de Tecnologías para la Defensa y la Seguridad Defense and Security Technologies Circle Foundation, His Majesty Felipe VI received a delegation from the organization, of which GMV is a longstanding member, on 23 January in the Zarzuela Palace.

The delegation was led by the Spanish secretary of state for defense, María Amparo Valcarce, as honorary president of the Fundación Círculo; the chairman, Félix Pérez; the general manager, Silvia Gamo; and several of the organization’s patrons. The rest of the delegation was made up of the vice-presidents of the Board of Directors, the chief inspector of police, representatives of the longstanding corporate members, and other Fundación members.

After greeting the members of the delegation, including GMV’s defense and security manager, Manuel Pérez Cortés, Felipe VI spoke with his guests about the latest initiatives and projects of the Fundación, which promotes collaboration among individuals, institutions, and companies with interests in the defense and security sector.

The Fundación Círculo de Tecnologías para la Defensa y Seguridad dates back to the 1^st Military Electronics Conference, organized in March 1983 by the Colegio Oficial de Ingenieros de Armamento weapons engineers association, the Spanish division of the Institute of Electronics Engineers (IEEE), and the Fundación Universidad Empresa.

Its goals include promoting initiatives aimed at creating and developing national technology for defense and security applications, especially in the fields of electronics, computer science, and communications; encouraging collaboration among individuals, agencies, institutions, and companies with shared interests in these sectors; and helping members stay up to date on defense and security technology through training, research, and development.
