Part 1 || Tech for Growth || Technology Partnerships || Indo-Pacific

The Raisina Podcast

The first part of this episode of Raisina@Canberra talks about how Covid-19 has accelerated strategic competition between states and reveals the strategic importance of the Indo-Pacific itself. The heartland of global growth is coping with enormous political and economic churn. It’s also leading to new partnerships and presenting opportunities in the Indo-Pacific to deepen existing partnerships, as countries find more commonalities in the multitude of technological challenges they face. More opportunities are arising—and arising quickly—for practical cooperation to help deal with these challenges. One such partnership is the India-Australia relationship. Its future growth prospects will depend on its ability to create resilience and promote innovation and entrepreneurship.
