The Pentagon has announced that the third edition of the INDUS-X Investor Summit is scheduled to take place in Silicon Valley this September.

Launched during Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to Washington last year, the INDUS-X initiative aims to advance critical and emerging technology collaboration between the US and India. According to Pentagon Press Secretary Maj. Gen. Pat Ryder, the summit will focus on fostering dynamic partnerships among defense technology companies, investors, and researchers.

In its inaugural year, INDUS-X successfully forged a defense innovation bridge under the Initiative on Critical and Emerging Technology (iCET), strengthening private sector cooperation between the two nations. This year's summit, co-hosted by the US-India Strategic Partnership Forum and Stanford University, will emphasize harnessing private capital for defense innovation.
