The U.S.–India Initiative on Critical and Emerging Technology (iCET) from 2022 to 2025: Assessment, Learnings, and the Way Forward
This paper highlights and analyzes how specific iCET deliverables have served as a forcing function within India for deregulation, administrative pivots, and decisionmaking less common in India’s past. Equally, it assesses how iCET outcomes have reshaped the way political leadership and U.S. bureaucracy deal with questions on export controls and critical technology partnerships. It also outlines new areas of cooperation that could define the iCET calendar over the next twelve months as a new administration will be sworn in to the White House.
