Rocketship India

Riding the wave of India's Tech Revolution

"Rocketship India" is a timely and relevant theme that highlights the importance of India's role in the Indo-Pacific region and beyond. The Rocketship India track at TiEcon 2023 will focus on the CHIPS ACT, the Startup Ecosystem, New Frontiers for AI, and the U.S. and India Defense Technology transfer that reflect the diverse and dynamic nature of the U.S.-India partnership and the potential for collaboration in various fields.

The CHIPS Act
The CHIPS Act aims to strengthen the U.S. semiconductor industry by providing funds for research and development, manufacturing, and supply chain security. The act also seeks to promote collaboration between the U.S. and its allies, including India to counter a single country's dominance in the semiconductor market.

Startup Ecosystem
India is known for its thriving startup ecosystem, which has produced several unicorns in recent years. The country's technology sector is also growing rapidly, with a focus on emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, blockchain, and the Internet of Things. The U.S. and India have been collaborating in the field of technology and startups, and this partnership could help fuel innovation and growth in both countries.

Artificial Intelligence
India has emerged as a significant player in the AI landscape, with several AI startups and research centers. The country is also home to a large pool of skilled AI professionals. The U.S. and India have been collaborating in the field of AI to develop new technologies and applications that could transform various industries.

Defence Technology Transfer
The defense sector is another sub-theme of "Rocketship India." India has been modernizing its military and investing in new defense technologies. The U.S. and India have been cooperating in the field of defense to enhance their strategic partnership and promote regional security. The two countries have also been collaborating on joint military exercises and defense technology transfers.
