“The seminar provided a unique opportunity for Israeli defense industries to create business opportunities, develop connections with government officials and key local industry players, and establish B2B relationships with Indian companies,” said Brig. Gen. (Res.) Yair Kulas, Director of the Israel Defense Ministry’s International Defense Cooperation Directorate.

“We see great importance in continuing the security cooperation between the countries and believe that activities of this kind help promote the activities of Israeli industries under the ‘Make in India’ and ‘Self Reliant’ policies,” Kulas said.

The seminar focused on the increasing use of drones in both security and criminal activities, such as intelligence gathering, weapon carrying, and precision attacks. Drones have become a global challenge for security forces due to their potential to cause large-scale damage with limited detection. This has led to the development of advanced counter-drone technologies, many of which were showcased during the seminar.
