Ahead of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's State Visit to the U.S., a select group of eminent defence sector firms from the two nations will participate in an innovative summit which would serve as a bridge and is expected to give a strong boost to the defence-industrial cooperation between the two nations.
INDUS-X is part of the broader strategic and defence partnership initiative, “the Defence Innovation Bridge”, announced under the initiative on Critical and Emerging Technology (iCET) and led by the U.S. Department of Defence and India’s Innovation for Defence Excellence initiative under India’s Department for Defence Production.
To be attended by some of the key private-sector defence players from India and the U.S., the INDUS-X Summit beginning June 20 will see the initiation of “Joint Challenges” under the Defence Innovation Bridge, focussing on common dual-use cases for both nations.
