It focuses on deep-tech research and development (R&amp;D) in key areas such as artificial intelligence, quantum technology, advanced cyber capabilities, semiconductors, autonomous systems, and underwater surveillance technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Aditi Scheme is designed to strengthen India\u2019s defence ecosystem by nurturing startups, MSMEs, and innovators. By doing so, it seeks to bridge the gap between the requirements of modern Armed Forces and the capabilities of India\u2019s defence innovation ecosystem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-when-was-the-aditi-scheme-launched\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"When_was_the_Aditi_Scheme_Launched\"><\/span>When was the Aditi Scheme Launched?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Aditi Scheme was launched on <strong>4th March 2024<\/strong> by the Defence Minister of India during <strong>DefConnect 2024<\/strong>, a premier defence innovation event.
