ACRE, included in the Official ICEX Guide on the drone ecosystem in Spain
ICEX España Exportaciones e Inversiones has published the first edition of «Who is Who: Drones/UAS from Spain», a reference guide bringing together more than 90 companies that make up the Spanish drone ecosystem. ACRE has been selected as a key player in the UAS value chain, a recognition that reflects our work in integrating complete operational solutions for sectors such as topography, industrial inspection, agriculture and security.
What is the ICEX Guide and why is it relevant?
Who is Who: Drones/UAS from Spain
ICEX is the official Spanish State body responsible for promoting the internationalization of Spanish companies. Its guide «Who is Who: Drones/UAS from Spain» was created with the aim of showcasing and positioning Spanish technological talent in the global unmanned systems market. By bringing together in a single document the main players in the sector —hardware manufacturers, software developers, systems integrators, service companies and support organisations—, the guide becomes a reference tool for international buyers, investors and public bodies looking for suppliers in Spain.

ACRE’s role in the Spanish UAS ecosystem
Our inclusion in this guide is not just a recognition: it is a reflection of where the market is heading. Value no longer lies solely in hardware. It lies in how technology is integrated —sensors, software, data platforms— to generate real and scalable operational solutions. At ACRE we work precisely at that link in the chain: helping companies and institutions move from experimentation to effective deployment.
