India-US Tech Cooperation Deepens at SelectUSA Investment Summit

A senior US official urged India-US technology cooperation to avoid adversarial dependencies, emphasizing principles of openness in artificial intelligence and semiconductor supply chains at the SelectUSA Investment Summit. Indian businesses announced $1.1 billion in investments at the summit, underscoring the deepening economic partnership despite broader bilateral tensions. The tech cooperation push comes amid ongoing friction over tariffs and Trump administration remarks critical of India. The bilateral tech agenda — focused on AI, semiconductors, quantum computing, and secure supply chains — is seen as the most durable pillar of India-US relations even as trade tensions persist.
