Recent months have produced some key developments for technology and the U.S.-India relationship. These include the launch of a new U.S.-India Initiative on Critical and Emerging Technologies (iCET); the prominent role of tech issues in the Quad, resulting in a recent new statement of principles on critical technology supply chains; and the focus on tech policy and trade as drivers of economic growth in the Indo Pacific Economic Framework (IPEF).

This online event marks the launch of a new partnership between the Wilson Center and NASSCOM that will look at the opportunities and challenges of deeper U.S.-India tech cooperation. It will propose priorities and ways forward, identify potential near-term wins for bilateral tech cooperation, and discuss obstacles and how to address them. The event will also announce a new Track 1.5 dialogue that will take these issues forward in greater detail. Additionally, the event will release a new study by IHS Markit that highlights recent contributions that the Indian tech industry has made to the U.S. economy.
