From Simón and Redondo to Casado, the new faces of Defense in Spain

Spain's defence sector is attracting new investors and executives, driven by increased military budgets. Former PP leader Pablo Casado and ex-Pedro Sánchez's chief of staff Iván Redondo are among those entering the sector. Casado has launched Hyperion, a fund investing in defence and aerospace projects, while Redondo has acquired a majority stake in Norclamp, a precision machining company.

Other newcomers include Ángel Simón and Josep Maria Recasens, who now lead defence giant Indra, and entrepreneurs launching start-ups focused on emerging areas like drone technology.
