ITE establishes itself as a national benchmark in defence technology and industrial innovation at FEINDEF 25

The Madrid-based company showcased pioneering developments in engineering and manufacturing applied to the defence sector, cybersecurity, strategic intelligence, and drone-based solutions. Backed by more than a dozen sponsors, the exhibition stand became a key meeting point for national and international partnerships.

The 4th edition of the International Defence and Security Exhibition of Spain (FEINDEF 25), held at IFEMA Madrid from May 12 to 14, marked a new milestone for Integración Tecnológica Empresarial (ITE). With a 100 m² exhibition space in Hall 10 and a packed schedule of strategic meetings, the company demonstrated the breadth and depth of its technological capabilities, positioning itself as a comprehensive player in the national defence, cybersecurity, intelligence, and industrial manufacturing ecosystem.

ITE maintains a strong presence in the field of industrial engineering, providing logistical support and maintenance services to the Spanish Air Force—where it operates across all air bases—and to the Spanish Navy, supplying products for the frigates built by Navantia. On land, ITE continues to service some of the oldest vehicles of the Armed Forces, including those used by the Marine Infantry and Army sappers. For this reason, the company’s exhibition area frequently welcomed military delegations, such as the one led by the Chief of Staff of the Air and Space Force (JEMA), General Francisco Braco Carbó, or by the Director General of the new Directorate for Strategy and Innovation in the Defence Industry, Air Force Lieutenant General Miguel Ivorra Ruiz.

Oven Martín Acedo, CEO and Founder of ITE, highlighted the company’s steady growth at the event:

“Since the first edition, where we came with a modest 12-square-meter stand, we have made steady progress aligned with our corporate objectives. Over the past two years, we have developed complementary technologies that now position us as strategic partners to major players in the defence sector. This edition has allowed us to consolidate and present these advancements to the world.”

Among the key innovations introduced by ITE this year was its drone software platform, Canard by ITE, currently used for maintenance, inspection, and calibration of airports in 24 countries. The company also unveiled SocITE360, a patented cybersecurity platform designed for SOC (Security Operations Center) activities in IT and OT environments. This solution is specifically tailored to protect critical industrial infrastructure.

ITE also showcased the progress of its recently launched Intelligence Unit, focused on competitive and strategic intelligence. Although only six months into operation, the unit has already been well received by relevant stakeholders. As an example of its growing influence, ITE is the Premium Partner for the Iberian Peninsula of Safety21, an Italian multinational specializing in smart mobility, which actively participated in ITE’s showcase area with a selection of its flagship products.

From the Defence Unit, Director Fernando S. de Sopranis emphasized the international scope of ITE’s exhibition space, supported by the presence of allied brands:

“This year, we presented a curated selection of key products from our international partners, including Kärcher Futuretech, Marom Dolphin, Controp, Pixels on Target, Daniel Defense, System Drone España, Meprolight optics, an electric motorcycle from Strix, and Sinepower. We share with them a user-centered technological vision focused on the operator. Our goal is always to bring solutions that enhance real-world capabilities in the field.”

In the naval engineering innovation area, ITE presented three cutting-edge projects in Hall 4, as part of the ASMIDE pavilion (the Association of Companies Contracted by Public Administrations): its reverse osmosis plant, plastic and organic waste shredders, and a shredder-compactor unit. These systems are already installed and operational on various Navy vessels and comply with MIL-STD-810-F, ensuring durability in extreme conditions and reaffirming ITE’s commitment to operational sustainability in demanding environments.

A significant milestone at FEINDEF 25 was the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between ITE and NEXT LEVEL TECHNOLOGIES for the maintenance and improvement of armored vehicles.

The successful staging of ITE’s exhibition area was made possible thanks to top-tier sponsors such as Kärcher Futuretech, Genesal Energy, Ingecom Ignition España, CrowdStrike, Forescout Technologies Inc., Claroty, Sinepower, SGS, XM Cyber, and SealPath UK.

In an edition that set new records with over 44,000 visitors, 600 exhibitors, and 91 international delegations, ITE regards its participation as an absolute success in terms of visibility, institutional agenda, and alliance-building.
