The Indian Navy is set to conduct the 3rd edition of its Naval Innovation and Indigenisation (NIIO) seminar titled ‘Swavlamban-2024’ at Bharat Mandapam on October 28-29, 2024.
A statement from the Ministry of Defence stated that post the success of the previous two editions, which garnered over 2,000 proposals from the Indian industry, Swavlamban has translated these ideas into 155 specific challenges aimed at prototype development. This initiative has fostered collaboration with more than 200 MSMEs and startups under the iDEX Scheme.
