DESCRIPTION:

How is the science and technology relationship between the United States and India evolving? What can we do to increase U.S.-Indian defense industry cooperation? The India-U.S. Defense Acceleration Ecosystem, aka "INDUS-X", was established in June 2023 to deepen this national security collaboration and build a "defense innovation bridge" between the two countries. INDUS-X has led to a series of partnerships between U.S. and Indian government agencies, companies, and universities to date.

To learn more about U.S.-Indian cooperation and INDUS-X, please join us for a conversation with Dr. Sameer Lalwani, a senior expert on South Asia at the U.S. Institute of Peace and non-resident senior fellow with the Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessments.
