Tel Aviv: The Israel Ministry of Defence (IMOD), through its Directorate of Defence Research & Development (DDR&D), announced the official launch of DRISHTI 2.0, another milestone in strengthening the bridge between Israeli defence-tech innovation and the Indian market. The programme is a continued joint effort with T-Hub, the world’s largest innovation accelerator, based in Hyderabad.
Building on the foundation established by the original DRISHTI programme (Dual-use Robust India-Israel High-Tech Innovation), this new phase continues to create practical pathways for Israeli companies seeking to expand into the Indian market.
The initiative reflects the Ministry’s ongoing strategy to strengthen defence exports, both as an engine of the IDF’s force build-up and as a tool that reinforces Israel’s standing on the world stage. This approach continues to expand Israel’s footholds abroad, toward long-term priority markets such as India, alongside its ongoing global partnerships.
As part of this launch, the Ministry’s DDR&D and T-Hub also introduced DRISHTI VIP, a dedicated track for mature companies with market-ready solutions, culminating in a roadshow in India.
India remains a strategic market of great potential, and this expanded initiative reflects the shared commitment to advancing meaningful partnerships and growth opportunities for Israeli industry in the region.
