On the verge of its seventh edition, A&DM Sevilla has established itself as the main business meeting for the Spanish aerospace industry. For 12 years, this strategic forum, organized by Andalucia TRADE and BCI Aerospace, has been the forum in which the plans of the European aerospace industry are presented, new challenges are faced, and projects in which the Andalusian and, in general, the Spanish aerospace cluster participates. In short, Andalusia becomes, with A&DM Sevilla, the host and strategic enclave of the global business circuit of a complex industrial sector, in which companies multiply their business capacity.

A&DM Sevilla 2024 is the business platform that the Andalusian Government promotes together with the Andalusian aerospace cluster for a sector classified as strategic. As a reference event in Spain for the aerospace industry and the most significant in southern Europe, A&DM Sevilla is the privileged forum that shows the world the investment and business opportunities offered by this industry in Spain and, more specifically, in Andalusia, one of the main aerospace poles in Europe and a region of maximum attractiveness for investment, where investors will find their best ally in their Executive.

Airbus Spain, as a leading company in the aerospace and defense sector in our country, thanks the Andalusian Government and Andalucía TRADE for organizing this seventh edition of A&DM Sevilla, the largest business meeting in Spain for this strategic industry. Our plants in Seville and Cadiz, with around 4,000 highly qualified employees and products that operate worldwide, such as the A400M and the C295, are an example of our commitment to digitalization, sustainability and constant efforts in innovation. At A&DM Sevilla 2024 we will discuss the challenges of this industry at a time when the strengthening of the defense industry; Space, key to freedom of action and decision autonomy and the competitiveness and resilience of the industrial ecosystem for the necessary strategic autonomy, are a priority for Europe. Airbus' pioneering spirit has always redefined the aerospace industry. Our products bring people together, helping them to unite and progress. We strive to continuously push the boundaries of what is possible to safeguard our world for future generations.

In this seventh edition of Aerospace & Defense Meetings we renew again our commitment as sponsors of the reference meeting of the aerospace industry in Spain. The main players in the sector meet again at A&DM Sevilla 2024 to analyze the challenges they face, present their industrial and technological capabilities, and promote collaborative relationships to address shared challenges around talent, digital transformation, the solution to tensions in the supply chain, new mobility concepts and the commitment to the development of a sustainable industry.

Aernnova will return once again to A&DM Sevilla, an event that brings together the great leaders of the aerospace sector. On this occasion and as one of the leading Aerostructures manufacturing companies, we want to highlight our commitment to continue strengthening the capacity of the industry in Spain in general, and in the Andalusian community in particular, without forgetting the important work that the sector is doing in key areas such as sustainability, talent or digital transformation.
