All rights reserved. © TEDAE 2018 DESIGN AND PRODUCTION: EXPOMARK 2017 ACTIVITIES REPORT - TEDAE WHAT HAS 2017 MEANT for TEDAE? Jaime de Rábago PRESIDENT OF TEDAE Undoubtedly, last year will be remembered as the year when the path of economic stability in the world, in Europe and also in Spain was recovered. In our country, employment grew 2.6%, inflation fell to 1.1% and exports increased 7.7%. The year also closed with optimistic growth projections for the industrial sectors that make up TEDAE: Defense, Aeronautics, Security and Space. Cybersecurity and the protection of companies, infrastructure and citizens is one of governments’ current priorities. The demand for new aircraft is encouraging, as well as a result of the expected growth in air traffic. The development of the Common Security and Defense Policy for Europe already has a roadmap - the European Defense Action Plan (EDAP) and the Permanent Structured Cooperation (PESCO) - and both Europe and the US are acquiring technological capabilities to face the new threats and protect the citizens and our democratic values. Likewise, space is increasingly present in people’s daily lives due to the growing demand for global connectivity services, communications, earth observation applications and navigation devices, among others. 6 TEDAE IS FULLY AWARE OF THE ROLE IT SHOULD PLAY IN THE FUTURE TO BE THE KEY SUPPORT THEIR ASSOCIATED COMPANIES NEED.

  • Council of Ministers Government Approves Creation of State Research Agency Moncloa Palace, Madrid, Friday 27 November 2015
    Council of Ministers Government approves creation of State Research Agency Moncloa Palace, Madrid, Friday 27 November 2015 The Council of Ministers approved the creation of the State Research Agency, which responds to a demand from the scientific community contained in the Science, Technology and Innovation Act 2011. The Vice-President of the Government, Soraya Sáenz de Santamaría, highlighted that its aim is to "foster research and the development of innovation in Spain", and that it constitutes "one of the most significant reforms of this legislature in this field". The Minister for Economic Affairs and Competition, Luis de Guindos, added that the main goal of the agency "is to ensure more effective and more flexible funding of research while guaranteeing its control and a strict system of accountability". The agency will provide greater stability to public subsidies for R&D, explained Luis de Guindos, because it will enable multi-year planning of its resources and will have "an independent evaluation system adapted to best international practices". This evaluation will be carried out taking into account the results obtained from the funding provided to the different research plans. It will also lead to a reduction in administrative burdens which, according to the minister, "will result in a much more flexible interaction between researchers". Luis de Guindos highlighted that the agency will receive funding from both the General State Budget and from the private sector. He said that "its structure will also be very simple and with zero cost". In this regard, he specified that it will have 300 professionals from the State Secretariat for R&D+i, and it will manage "approximately 75% of all the non-financial credit resources" provided to the agency.
