Aicox has joined the Juan Sebastián de Elcano Training Ship Centenary collaboration program as an Official Bronze Sponsor, joining an initiative that will recognize one hundred years of history of one of the greatest symbols of the Spanish Navy and of Spain’s international projection.

This collaboration represents for Aicox the pride of participating in a commemoration of special institutional, historical and cultural relevance, linked to values such as excellence, leadership, training, commitment and vocation of service.
Throughout its history, Aicox has maintained a firm commitment to initiatives related to defense, technology, innovation, and the development of strategic capabilities for Spain. Its inclusion in the Centenary program reinforces this commitment to supporting institutionally significant projects that contribute to preserving and promoting Spain’s historical, cultural, and maritime heritage.
The Centenary commemorative program, which will take place between 2027 and 2028, will bring together institutional, cultural, educational and outreach activities both in Spain and in different international ports, highlighting the legacy of the training ship, its contribution to the training of generations of Navy officers and its important role as an ambassador of Spain in the world.
For Aicox, participating in this celebration represents an opportunity to support an initiative that transcends the naval sphere, becoming a tribute to the history, collective effort, and spirit of resilience that have accompanied the Juan Sebastián de Elcano throughout its one hundred years of service. The company fully shares the objectives of this commemoration, which seeks to strengthen awareness and promote one of the leading symbols of Spanish maritime heritage, as well as project the values it represents into the future.
As an Official Bronze Sponsor, Aicox will support the various activities planned within the Centenary program, contributing to the dissemination of an event that will pay tribute to one of the most emblematic ships in Spanish naval history and its role as an ambassador of Spain in the world.
A century of history in service to Spain
Since its launch in 1927 and its commissioning into the Spanish Navy in 1928, the Juan Sebastián de Elcano training ship has trained thousands of officers and has become one of the most recognized symbols of the Spanish Navy. Its centenary presents a unique opportunity to acknowledge a history that has carried the name of Spain across five continents and continues to be a benchmark of excellence, training, and service. For Aicox, participating in this commemoration is an honor, contributing to the dissemination of this legacy and contributing to an initiative that will strengthen awareness and visibility of one of the most emblematic institutions in Spanish naval history.
