“Technology, including innovation and startup culture, has been a bedrock of the India-US partnership. All of this is brought together by the initiative on Critical and Emerging Technology (iCET), and iCET pushes it much further forward “Sandhu stated.
“The initiative on Critical and Emerging Technology (iCET) is a unique effort since this is possibly the first time that not only the administration but academics and the scientific community have all joined together,” he added.
