Grupo Oesía has appointed Spanish physicist and academic Antonio Hernando as president of its Technology Council, the governing body of the company’s Oesía Tech Leadership talent program. The multinational technology group, which focuses on dual-use engineering and has facilities in Valdepeñas, announced the move as part of its strategy to reinforce its scientific and technological capabilities.
Hernando, a professor and founder of Micromag, joins the council following Grupo Oesía’s acquisition of 100% of Micromag, a company specialized in designing, developing, and producing advanced electromagnetic materials. According to the company, he will act as a key representative of the Oesía Tech Leadership program, helping to define technology strategies and promote high-value innovation initiatives across the group’s activities, including those relevant to aerospace and defense applications.
The Technology Council is intended to guide long-term research and development priorities, aligning them with the needs of sectors that rely on advanced materials and electronic systems. Hernando’s appointment brings additional academic and research expertise into Grupo Oesía’s governance structure at a time of growing interest in technological sovereignty and domestic development of critical technologies in Spain and Europe.
