🌍 Strengthening India–Netherlands Defence R&D Collaboration 🤝 Last week marked an important milestone in the India–Netherlands relationship, with both Prime Ministers agreeing on a Strategic Partnership and a joint roadmap for 2026–2030. https://lnkd.in/dKdvbMp4 A key takeaway for the defence community: the roadmap explicitly highlights closer cooperation between defence industries and R&D institutes like TNO & DRDO, Ministry of Defence, Govt. of India, alongside broader collaboration on advanced technologies and security. At TNO, we see this as a strong and timely signal. International collaboration in defence R&D is essential to: - accelerate innovation in critical technologies, - strengthen sovereign and European capabilities, and - responsibly address shared security challenges. Our ongoing engagement with partners in India reflects the same ambition: to build long-term, structured cooperation between leading research organisations, grounded in mutual strengths and complementary expertise. While formal frameworks are still evolving, the direction is clear: trusted, knowledge-driven partnerships between R&D institutes will play a key role in future defence ecosystems. Looking forward to taking the next steps together. Geordie Klein Netherlands Embassy in India #DefenceInnovation #RND #InternationalCollaboration #StrategicPartnership #HEL #TNO
