The Emerging Technologies and Policy Program focuses on the intersection of cutting-edge technologies and their profound implications for India’s security framework, economic landscape, and energy systems. As India positions itself as a global technology leader, our program analyzes how technological advancements reshape national priorities and presents unique opportunities and challenges for policymakers, industry leaders, and citizens alike.
Our work centers on two complementary approaches: developing comprehensive analytical frameworks to understand emerging technologies’ systemic impacts and formulating evidence-based policy recommendations that enable India to harness technological benefits while mitigating associated risks. Through rigorous interdisciplinary research, we bridge the gap between technological innovation and practical policy implementation.
The program currently concentrates on critical areas including artificial intelligence governance, cybersecurity infrastructure, quantum computing capabilities, renewable energy technologies, defense innovation, and digital transformation across sectors. Our team of technology specialists, policy experts, and domain researchers collaborates to produce actionable insights that inform strategic decision-making at national and state levels.
Beyond research, we actively engage with stakeholders through policy dialogues, technical workshops, and public consultations to ensure our recommendations are both technically sound and contextually relevant. Our expanding portfolio includes upcoming initiatives on nuclear technology applications, biotechnology regulations, and cross-border technology governance frameworks to address tomorrow’s most pressing technological challenges.
