The DRISHTI program's Center of Excellence (CoE), established within T-Hub, will host the India Market Access Program (IMAP), offering Israeli companies unique opportunities in the Indian market. Through IMAP, participants will gain exclusive access to India's expanding defense and technology sectors, receive support for collaborations with public and private companies, and benefit from customized mentorship aimed at successful market entry. The program provides strategic guidance for companies looking to establish a presence in India's dynamic business landscape, facilitating partnerships with investors and industry leaders.

Golan Malka, Head of the Dual-Use Unit at the IMOD’s DDR&D: "The DRISHTI program showcases the strong bond between our two nations. By merging Israel's innovation and R&D capabilities with India's scale-up potential, we can develop dual-use technological solutions that benefit both countries."

Sujit Jagirdar, CEO of T-Hub: "DRISHTI marks a new chapter in India-Israel collaboration. By combining Israel's expertise with India's market potential, we aim to create groundbreaking opportunities for startups in critical sectors."
