BEING IN THE SHIPBUILDING business has never been a stable situation for the companies that have devoted their efforts to an activity that has high sensibility on events happening on the other corner of the world. In a business that focusses its activity on the maritime domain, where the seas bring globalisation connectivity along with strong competition, adaptiveness and flexibility are not "nice to have" capabilities but mandatory features to survive. If this is true for the civilian market, it is even more evident for the military business, where political decisions are also considered when investing on naval assets.

For the sake of staying a worldwide reference in the naval shipbuilding, Navantia has been constantly investing up to a non-neglectable 15 per cent in R&D, with a constant eye kept on the most important markets in the world. Navantia has proudly showcased a client-oriented attitude, harvesting consideration and trust from different national naval forces and governmental stakeholders, granting a privileged role on the most complex shipbuilding programmes around the globe.
