Emerging Technologies
Shaping Modern Defence

The defence 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 Defence.” This event aims to convene industry experts, academia, policymakers, and stakeholders to discuss the transformative potential of cutting-edge technologies in supporting and sustaining defence capabilities.

India’s reliance on limited indigenous technologies in defence 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 defence 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 defence 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 defence infrastructure. The event will focus on identifying critical gaps, promoting R&D activities, and encouraging industry-academia partnerships to create advanced defence 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 defence 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 defence domain.
