The Azores Archipelago and the United States were the places chosen by the President of the Republic, Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa, for the celebrations of this year's Day of Portugal, Camões and the Portuguese Communities.

In Ponta Delgada, the AuxDefense consortium was one of the entities present at the exhibition “Portuguese Army Uniforms and Cargo Systems” which was visited by the President of the Republic, the Minister of National Defense, Azeredo Lopes, and Chief of Staff of the Army , General Rovisco Duarte.

Highlighted were the military protection equipment (helmet and ballistic vests, knee pads and elbow pads) developed by AuxDefense, in a consortium that associates the University of Minho through the Fibrenamics International Platform, the Portuguese Army and the Portuguese Air Force with five Portuguese companies in the region north: Fibrauto, IDT Consulting, Latino Group, LMA and Sciencentris.

The demonstration made by Professor Raul Fangueiro, coordinator of the Fibrenamics Platform, aroused enormous interest and President Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa took the opportunity to test the equipment present.
