Flash Report: Country Profile – Spain

ENACT is launching a new series of Flash Reports focused on Country profiles. Each profile will provide an overview of that country’s position in the research and innovation landscape. Drawing on information from the Horizon Dashboard and ENACT’s stakeholders map and FCT project analysis, each country profile presents an overview of participation in Horizon Europe at the Country level, involvement in Horizon proposals as well as the distribution and strengths of organisations.

This country profile shows how Spain plays a leading role in European security research, demonstrated by strong participation, coordination, and above-average success in Horizon Europe security projects. Spanish organisations are particularly active in addressing digital and economic crime, cybercrime, and counterterrorism, with complementary strengths in investigation and forensics, intelligence and data gathering, and operational training. This activity is supported by a diverse ecosystem spanning law enforcement, academia, industry, and research centres, ensuring practical and operationally relevant outcomes. Technologically, Spain shows robust expertise in digital technologies, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, interoperability, and sensing solutions, aligning closely with European security priorities and emerging operational needs.
