Emerging Technologies
Shaping Modern Defense

The defense sector is at a critical juncture, with technological advancements playing an increasingly pivotal role in shaping national security and global dynamics. Recognizing the importance of innovation and collaboration in this domain, IP Bazzaar, in collaboration with Reinforce Intellectual Property Association (RIPA) & NEBULA, is organizing an impactful roundtable discussion titled “Emerging Technologies Shaping Modern Defense.” This event aims to convene industry experts, academia, policymakers, and stakeholders to discuss the transformative potential of cutting-edge technologies in supporting and sustaining defense capabilities.

India’s reliance on limited indigenous technologies in defense has highlighted the urgent need for focused R&D efforts and greater self-reliance. This event will underscore the importance of strategic collaborations between industry and academia to develop homegrown solutions tailored to India’s unique defense challenges. By fostering a culture of innovation and knowledge exchange, the discussion will emphasize incentivizing indigenous technology development and facilitating global partnerships to enhance capabilities.

Key agenda points will include updates on the evolving defense landscape, the necessity for technological evolution, and how advancements such as artificial intelligence, robotics, blockchain, IoT, cybersecurity, and quantum technologies can be leveraged to modernize India’s defense infrastructure. The event will focus on identifying critical gaps, promoting R&D activities, and encouraging industry-academia partnerships to create advanced defense tools and systems.

Additionally, the event will include a post-event landscape report, which will provide a comprehensive overview of worldwide technological trends, challenges identified during the discussion, and actionable insights. This report will cover available technologies for licensing, highlight collaborative opportunities, and outline a clear way forward to address the defense sector’s evolving needs. This deliverable aims to serve as a strategic resource for stakeholders, guiding future efforts to foster innovation and collaboration in the defense domain.
