ABOUT

F. Javier Pérez Alcaide

FOUNDER & CEO

Thirty years in aerospace and defence have taken me through every stage of an industrial business: engineering, programmes and new product development; industrial operations, from greenfield to scale-up; and, at executive level, leading industrial divisions and the commercial function.

I founded JPA Nova Capital to put that experience to work for others: helping companies grow internationally, transform their operations and negotiate with the world’s largest manufacturers — and backing the founders building the next generation of technology companies.

THE WEEKLY BRIEF

Industry and capital, read together

Every week, an executive view of what is moving in aerospace & defence and in early-stage deep-tech investment.

Week 45 2 – 4 NOVEMBER 2026 All editions →
AEROSPACE & DEFENCE

Results week: the ramp-up is a supply-chain problem

  • Airbus: A350 still below 4 a month, held back by a former Spirit fuselage section.
  • Boeing: commercial loses $697M in Q3; the 737 is still stabilising at 47 a month.
  • Supply chain: Howmet grows 29% at a 32.5% margin while structures integrators struggle.

EARLY-STAGE & DEEP TECH

Spain gains firepower; counter-drone leads defence seeds

  • Spain: two new €100M deep-tech funds — Talde’s Gálate Deeptech I and Big Sur’s BSV IV.
  • Defence: Gallium Defense raises a €7.1M seed for anti-drone radar in Paris.
  • Robotics: early humanoid rounds go to learning software and data, not hardware.

THE TAKEAWAY Value is moving upstream and to dual use: suppliers with pricing power capture the ramp-up, and public money increasingly backs defence-ready start-ups.
