Action lines
Our action lines for the period
focused on:
- Continue to consolidate Isdefe as the benchmark in-house technical service provider for the Administration in technology-related areas, mainly those associated with defence and security, providing high added value and analysing and adapting activity in areas considered “non-core”.
- Enhance economic and financial sustainability in the short and medium term.
- Boost the modernisation of corporate services by integrating new technologies into processes and following the guidelines set out in the Digital Transformation Plan of the Central Government and its public agencies.
- Develop human resources, training, motivation, recognition and talent retention in the framework of the public sector.
- Boost engagement in projects and programmes at international bodies and institutions (EU, NATO, EDA, OSCE, ESA, Eurocontrol, etc.) and, particularly, within the new framework set up by the European Defence Action Plan.
- Continue with our corporate social responsibility commitments and public service vocation.

Isdefe’s activity strategy focuses on European multilateral bodies and the administrations of Spain’s allied countries.
