Emerging Technologies Initiative (ETI)

3. The Emerging Technologies Initiative or ETI is an ambitious attempt to understand, analyze and anticipate the impact of emerging, futuristic, strategic, critical and disruptive technologies that will impact India and its foreign policy aspects. It seeks to identify collaborative opportunities in a whole range of new emerging and strategic technologies under Quantum, AI, Bioengineering, Semiconductor technologies, Sustainable technologies, Industrial technologies, High performance computing including Big Data and Intelligent Systems, Block Chain, and Data and Communication Network.

4. Teams will be identified to produce a strategy report on a specific emerging or strategic technology. Each of these reports will recommend policy choices and also lay out an indigenization roadmap. This process will, therefore, involve the steps of technology scouting, technology landscaping, technology assessment, technology forecasting and technology indigenization.

5. Participation in this initiative is open to Indian citizens and NRIs/ PIOs. We hope to see multi-disciplinary, multi-institutional teams, including participants from the research and scientific community in India and from amongst the Indian Diaspora as also Indian Start-ups/ Industry.
