The event aimed to foster collaboration with Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) and start-ups to accelerate Defence Research & Development (R&D) and production capabilities, contributing to the growth of the Uttar Pradesh Defence Industrial Corridor.

More than 100 participants, including representatives from MSMEs, start-ups, and Laghu Udhyog Bharti, engaged in in-depth discussions focusing on key aspects such as skill development, funding for R&D, technical consultancy, and technology development and transfer by DRDO.
