INDUS-X (India-U.S. Defense Acceleration Ecosystem), an initiative to build a defence innovation bridge by Innovations for Defence Excellence (iDEX) of the Ministry of Defence, and the US Department of Defence (DoD), began an exercise to begin the Indo-US CrossLinx accelerator programme to prepare defence start-ups to expand to the US markets, on Monday.
IIT-Hyderabad’s iTIC Incubator - supported by the Department of Science and Technology (DST), and H4XLabs organised a workshop for the same at the launch event.
Once the start-ups are ready, they would embark on a trip to the US for seven to 10 days to engage with government officials, investors, defence contractors, and stakeholders.
