We are delighted to welcome you for the inaugural edition of the Firstpost Defence Summit 2024.

The goal of this year's summit, "The Future Forward," is to examine how India's defence objectives are changing as it aspires to play a larger role in world affairs. India wants to grow, from the push for Make-in-India programmes to the growing power of the Indian military in geopolitical spheres and handling border disputes.

Our summit aims to investigate the need for diversification, the harmony between diplomacy and defence, and the revolutionary potential of artificial intelligence in the context of future combat.
