The Foundation for Research, Development and Application of Composite Materials (FIDAMC) was created as a result of an agreement between the Ministry of Industry, Tourism and Trade, the Community of Madrid and the company EADS NV, signed on 15 March 2006. This Research Centre, located in the Parque Tecnológico del Sur, in the municipality of Getafe, is equipped with high-tech means and occupies a surface area of approximately 20,000 square metres. The decision to create Fidamc responds to the importance that successive governments have given to the aerospace industry sector, given its strategic nature and the need to continue research into the development of composite materials and other new technologies associated with them in order to maintain the important leadership that the Spanish aerospace industry holds in the world.
