The Electronic Industries Association of India (ELCINA) will organise the 15th Strategic Electronics Summit – Defence & Aerospace 2026 (SES 2026) on 23–24 July 2026 at the Bangalore International Exhibition Centre (BIEC), Bengaluru. The two-day event is regarded as one of India’s premier platforms dedicated to strategic electronics, bringing together government leaders, defence organisations, armed forces, public sector enterprises, OEMs, MSMEs, startups, research institutions, and technology providers to shape the future of India’s defence and aerospace electronics industry.
SES 2026 to Bring Together India’s Defence and Electronics Ecosystem
Strategic Electronics Summit – Defence & Aerospace 2026 will serve as a key meeting point for stakeholders across the defence manufacturing value chain. The summit is designed to encourage collaboration between policymakers, industry leaders, academia, and innovators while supporting India’s growing focus on indigenous defence production and advanced electronics manufacturing.
The event will provide valuable opportunities for networking, technology exchange, and strategic partnerships aimed at strengthening India’s defence capabilities and electronics supply chain.
Exhibition to Showcase Advanced Defence and Aerospace Technologies
A major attraction of SES 2026 will be its technology exhibition featuring the latest innovations in defence and aerospace electronics. Exhibitors will present cutting-edge solutions in artificial intelligence, embedded systems, semiconductors, sensors, secure communication technologies, drones, robotics, surveillance systems, electronic warfare, advanced manufacturing, and next-generation defence technologies.
The exhibition will enable defence buyers, system integrators, technology developers, and manufacturing companies to explore emerging products and identify new business opportunities.
Conference Sessions to Focus on Innovation and Indigenous Manufacturing
The summit’s conference programme will include keynote addresses, expert panel discussions, technical presentations, vendor development meetings, and interactive networking sessions. Industry experts and government representatives will discuss current challenges, emerging opportunities, policy developments, and technology trends influencing India’s defence and aerospace sectors.
The sessions are expected to encourage knowledge sharing while supporting innovation and collaboration across the strategic electronics ecosystem.
ELCINA Continues to Strengthen India’s Electronics Industry
Established in 1967, the Electronic Industries Association of India (ELCINA) is India’s oldest industry association dedicated to the electronics hardware sector. For nearly six decades, the organisation has played an important role in supporting electronics manufacturers, promoting industry growth, engaging with government on policy initiatives, encouraging technology partnerships, and facilitating collaboration between industry, academia, and international organisations.
Today, ELCINA continues to work towards enhancing India’s manufacturing competitiveness, driving innovation, and expanding global market opportunities for the country’s electronics industry.
Supporting India’s Vision for Self-Reliant Defence Manufacturing
As India accelerates its Atmanirbhar Bharat initiative and strengthens domestic defence production, Strategic Electronics Summit – Defence & Aerospace 2026 is expected to play a significant role in advancing indigenous technology development. By bringing together industry leaders, innovators, and policymakers, the summit will help accelerate collaboration, encourage investment in strategic electronics, and contribute to building a globally competitive defence and aerospace manufacturing ecosystem.
The event is expected to attract significant participation from defence manufacturers, technology companies, research institutions, startups, government agencies, and industry professionals looking to explore the latest developments in strategic electronics and defence innovation.
