Jacobo Da Riva MuƱoz@jwildeboer A big tech company in Spain claims that the'll be something similar like Palantir + Arduil.... it's not a joke.
Rodrigo Pio@jdrm @jwildeboer would you mind telling which company?
@rrapio @jwildeboer Indra, a realy big tech company in spain with projects in defense, air transport, public administration.... https://www.elperiodico.com/es/economia/20251106/palantir-referencia-indra-burbuja-bolsa-ciberdefensa-inteligencia-artificial-123386314 sorry but the link is in spanish
Indra mira a Palantir para crecer en ciberdefensa pese a los fantasmas de burbuja
Palantir e Indra comparten su buen momento en bolsa y parte del sector de actividad en el que trabajan, la ciberdefensa y ciberseguridad. La compaƱĆa norteamericana se revaloriza un 154% en lo que va de aƱo en el Ćndice tecnolĆ³gico Nasdaq, mientras que la espaƱola un 195,5% impulsada por sus planes de crecimiento, el gasto militar que exige la OTAN a sus paĆses miembros y el rearme europeo.
