Developing the national defense industry
A new world order is forming, and geopolitical movements compel states to reinvest in Defense and Protection to face the new risks that change is already bringing.
There are no threats without opportunities. The Defense and Protection Industries are powerful engines of the economy when based on innovation. Portugal will be at the forefront of this emerging paradigm.
