Just weeks after Israel and India agreed to identify new areas in defense cooperation, the two countries signed an agreement to develop bilateral technology such as drones, artificial intelligence and more.

The Bilateral Innovation Agreement (BIA) was signed by India’s Defense Research and Development Organization (DRDO) chairman G Satheesh Reddy and Israel’s Directorate of Defense Research and Development (DDR&D) head Danny Gold.

“Under the agreement, start-ups and industry of both countries will work together to bring out next-generation technologies and products in the areas such as drones, robotics, artificial intelligence, quantum technology, photonics, biosensing, brain-machine interface, energy storage, wearable devices, natural language processing, etc,” India’s defense ministry said in a statement.

The developments will be jointly funded by both the DRDO and DDR&D, and will be customized to “meet the unique requirements” of both countries and be available to Israel and India.
