Sener’s leadership team and the delegation headed by the Minister held a working meeting, during which they were introduced to some of the most prominent projects and programmes in which Sener is involved across the Aerospace and Defence, Energy, Infrastructure (through its Mobility division), and Advanced Facilities areas (dedicated to the design of data centres through its subsidiary Quark).

The delegation also visited the Tres Cantos Integration and Testing Centre, dedicated to production, integration, manufacturing and testing of space and defence products. They were also able to observe progress on the construction of the new building within the complex, which will become the tenth on the Tres Cantos campus and will be dedicated to industrial production activities. With this new infrastructure, Sener strengthens its industrial capabilities: once completed, and together with the facilities currently under construction in Zamudio (Bizkaia), the group will exceed 40,000 m² dedicated to space and defence, doubling its current surface area for these activities.

Sener participates in and leads high‑technology programmes in Space, such as Proba‑3, the ESA mission that has demonstrated millimetric satellite formation flying to observe the solar corona; and in Defence, where it supplies key systems for major air‑defence programmes such as Patriot and Iris‑T. In Infrastructure, Sener has designed and managed more than 35,000 kilometres of rail and road corridors, helping to transform mobility in countries around the world, and is involved in major engineering and architectural works such as the Fourth Bridge over the Panama Canal, the award‑winning Cebu–Cordova bridge in the Philippines, and the innovative retractable pitch at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium. In Energy, it develops strategic projects that advance Europe’s energy autonomy: from Gate terminal in the Netherlands to German LNG, the first onshore regasification terminal planned in Germany, as well as other plants contributing to the German energy transition, such as Heilbronn, Altbach/Deizisau and Scholven. And in the digital sphere, it promotes critical infrastructure such as next‑generation data centres, including the design of the facilities of this type for the Social Security Information Technology Management (GISS).
