Swavlamban 2024: Charting New Waters in Naval Innovation and Indigenisation

The third Swavlamban seminar by the Indian Navy will be held in October 2024 to foster naval innovation. Held at Bharat Mandapam, it will showcase advanced technologies and promote interaction between industry stakeholders, building on previous successes to drive indigenisation and the vision of a Viksit Bharat by 2047.

The Indian Navy is set to host the third Swavlamban seminar on October 28-29, aiming to advance naval innovation and indigenisation. This flagship event, taking place at the Bharat Mandapam complex, promises to boost the collaborative efforts initiated in previous editions.

Since the launch of the iDEX scheme by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in 2018, this initiative has facilitated over 2,000 proposals, transforming them into 155 challenges that engage more than 200 MSMEs. Swavlamban 2024 seeks to continue this momentum by showcasing cutting-edge technologies, including air and surface surveillance and autonomous systems.

Interactive sessions scheduled for October 29 will gather policymakers, innovators, startups, and financial institutions. Discussions will focus on emerging technologies, future warfare, indigenisation, and enhancing the innovation ecosystem to support the long-term vision of a Viksit Bharat by 2047.
