India-US INDUS-X Summit

The two-day INDUS-X Summit will be held from September 9-10, 2024, at Stanford University in Palo Alto, California, focusing on fostering defence innovation partnerships between India and the US.

The summit’s theme is "Harnessing Investment Opportunities to Enhance Cross-Border Defence Innovation Ecosystems," aiming to attract private capital to the defence sector.
Leading defence policymakers from both Washington and New Delhi will participate, including startups, venture capitalists, academia, and industry professionals.
The event will emphasize co-production opportunities and collaborative investment in defence innovation between American and Indian firms.
The summit will include discussions on strengthening defence and advanced technology partnerships, enhancing resilient supply chains, and the role of venture capital in defence.
INDUS-X, a symbol of the enhanced strategic and defence partnership between India and the US, was launched in June 2023 during Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to Washington.
India and the US have signed several key defence pacts in recent years, including LEMOA, COMCASA, and BECA, boosting defence cooperation and technological exchange.
