On November 3rd, Jesús Serrano, CEO of the technology firm GMV, participated in the second edition of “Dialogues for Security: Southern Forum on Geopolitics and the Defense of Peace”. This event was organized by the El País newspaper and held at The Palace Hotel in Madrid.

The meeting brought together notable representatives from the worlds of politics, industry, and academia, including Margarita Robles (Spain’s Minister of Defense), José Manuel Albares (Spain’s Minister of Foreign Affairs), and André Denk (Chief Executive of the European Defense Agency). The aim was to encourage discussion regarding the challenges that Europe is now facing in relation to its security and defense.

Mr. Serrano participated in a roundtable discussion dedicated to the defense industry in the European context, where he stressed the need to strengthen the competitiveness of Spanish industry and promote collaborations between the public and private sectors, to develop capabilities that will help ensure Europe’s technological autonomy.

At a time when defense and security have become a main point of focus on the continent’s political and social agendas, GMV’s participation in this forum was a further demonstration of its commitment to promoting a strong, innovative, and collaborative European defense industry that can respond to the current global challenges.
