India–United States Defense Acceleration Ecosystem (INDUS-X) is a strategic alliance in technology and defense industry collaboration between India and the United States.
Background
editThe 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.[1] 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.'[2]
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,[3] shortly after the activation of the United States-India Initiative on Critical and Emerging Technology (iCET).[4]
