Lockheed Martin to Host 10th Edition of India Suppliers Conference on September 11 and 12

Hyderabad: Lockheed Martin will host the 10th edition of its India Suppliers Conference on September 11 and 12, at the Ritz Carlton Hotel in Bengaluru.

The conference will provide a platform to drive conversations around building indigenous defence industrial capabilities that integrate MSMEs and fuel ‘Make-in-India’ partnerships for the future, with a special focus on innovative solutions to not just meet the needs of the Indian Armed Forces but also to feed into the global supply chain, in line with national priority to accelerate defence exports.

“We are excited to host the Suppliers Conference for the tenth year running and facilitate interactions between current and prospective defence & aerospace industry partners in India. The 2024 Suppliers Conference will offer Indian suppliers a platform to interact with our global partners and access new business opportunities, making India’s defence manufacturing ecosystem stronger,” said Michael Fernandez, India Country Head, Lockheed Martin.

“Hosting the Conference complements our vision of building and nurturing partnerships with the Indian industry. We are aligned with the vision Prime Minister Narendra Modi has shared of ‘Make in India, Make for the World’. It will give an opportunity to the local aerospace and defence manufacturers to meet with the supply chain team of Lockheed Martin to understand the opportunities that exist domestically and internationally,” Fernandez added.
