The 2nd iCET Peak in July 2024 evaluated development in space, semiconductors, AI, quantum computer, and also tidy energy.The US National Science Base and also Indian medical divisions have increased research study partnerships around numerous industries. The September 2023 MoU between IIT Authorities and also Association of American Universities developed the India-US Global Challenges Principle, focusing on lasting energy, wellness, semiconductors, ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE, &amp quantum science.A K Sood, primary scientific consultant to GoI informed TOI: “I do not find any sort of primary red flag or even main reason to anticipate drastic modifications in S&ampT collaboration.

These are actually lasting concerns for both the nations. Our devotion to enrich technological collaboration is going to likely continue.” Terming the Indo-US S&ampT participation “mature &amp strong”, especially in emerging technologies, previous dept of science &amp technology secretary Ashutosh Sharma pointed out the collaboration is actually headed in a ‘opinion path’. “Areas like quantum technologies, ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE, biotech, and energy would stay on the right track irrespective of the political modification,” he mentioned.
