United States–India Initiative on Critical and Emerging Technology

Bilateral collaborative framework

United States–India Initiative on Critical and Emerging Technology, or iCET, is a collaborative framework established by the United States and India to enhance cooperation in developing fields of technology. These areas encompass artificial intelligence, quantum computing, semiconductors, and wireless telecommunication.[1]

Background

In May 2022, United States President Joe Biden and Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi jointly unveiled the iCET. Subsequently, on January 31, 2023, the inaugural iCET meeting took place in Washington, D.C., led by the respective National Security Advisors of both countries.[2][3]

Also, to promote research and collaboration in the field of quantum technology, the two countries created a collaborative Indo-U.S. quantum coordination mechanism. This mechanism involves participants from various sectors, including industry, academia, and government, who work together to facilitate joint efforts and partnerships.[4]
