Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Madras is all set to showcase next-generation technologies during DefExpo 2020, the biennial defence exhibition scheduled to be held from February 5 to 9, 2020 at Lucknow.
IIT Madras is the ‘Knowledge Partner’ of Tamil Nadu Defence Corridor and will form part of the TIDCO (Tamil Nadu Industrial Development Corporation) Pavilion in the expo. The efforts of defence-related startups that are participating in the IDEX and are being incubated by IIT Madras will be on display.
DefExpo 2020 will cover the complete spectrum of the country’s aerospace, defence and security interests.
Professor of Practice Lt Gen (Retd) PR Shankar, Department of Aerospace Engineering, IIT Madras, who is taking keen interest in the Defence-related projects of IIT Madras, said, “We are now on the verge of making a mark on the Defence industry through the technologies developed by our faculty and through our start-ups incubated in our one of its kind Research Parks. We have come a long way since the last DefExpo held in Chennai.”
