Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become an important area of cooperation between India and France. Both countries want to work together to develop new technologies instead of competing with each other.

According to India's Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), French President Emmanuel Macron's participation in the India AI Impact Summit 2026 showed how important technology cooperation is for both countries.

The launch of the India-France Year of Innovation 2026 reflects their shared goal of promoting research, innovation, startup partnerships, and technological growth. Key areas of cooperation include AI, semiconductor technology, quantum computing, cybersecurity, critical minerals, and advanced manufacturing. Startups from India and France are increasingly working together through innovation programs. Universities and research organizations from both countries are also building long-term partnerships in advanced technology fields.

India and France believe that working together on technology can help make global supply chains more reliable and strengthen their economies. As countries around the world compete to become leaders in technology, India and France are building a trusted partnership focused on creating technology that is safe, ethical, and beneficial for everyone.
