India–United States Defense Acceleration Ecosystem (INDUS-X) is a strategic alliance in technology and defense industry collaboration between the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) and the Indian Ministry of Defense (MoD). The INDUS-X platform promotes collaboration among defense firms, startups and academic institutions.[1]
Background[edit | edit source]
The alliance was launched on 21 June 2023 in Washington, D.C. by the United States Department of Defense and the Ministry of Defence at an event hosted by the U.S.-India Business Council.[2] During the event a factsheet was disseminated that detailed the collaboration plan for INDUS-X participants. This plan is centered around two main themes: 'Bilateral Cooperation Mechanism,' and 'Public–Private Partnerships.'[3] Representatives of more than 30 U.S. and Indian start-ups, government, academic, business, and leaders participated in the event.[4]
The inauguration of INDUS-X occurred concurrently with a three-day state visit to the United States by Indian prime minister Narendra Modi hosted by president Joe Biden,[5] shortly after the activation of the United States-India Initiative on Critical and Emerging Technology (iCET).[6]
