Tri-services academia tech symposium to be held in Delhi on Sept 22-23

New Delhi, Jul 4 (PTI) A tri-services symposium that seeks to enhance synergy between the armed forces and the academia towards developing a robust defence ecosystem in the country will be held here on September 22 and 23, officials on Friday said.
Several top academic and research and development (R&D) institutions will take part in the tri-services academia technology symposium, which will be hosted at the Manekshaw Centre.
Senior Army officials had earlier at a press conference here announced the schedule of the event, which will include seminars, panel discussions and exhibitions.
The announcement of the symposium comes nearly two months after India conducted Operation Sindoor wherein indigenous technology and platforms played key role.
The academic institutions will get an opportunity to present their ideas, proposals or developed technology, and after evaluation some of those will be taken up for scaling up through R&D and D&D (design and development) routes, the Army said.
The aim of the event is to develop an integrated perspective for creation of a synergised defence-services-academia R&D ecosystem for development of niche technologies for the defence forces, officials said. PTI KND AS AS
