Prime Minister Narendra Modi has announced a major trilateral technology partnership between Australia, Canada, and India, aimed at strengthening collaborative innovation, digital governance, and emerging technology development across the three nations. The initiative marks a strategic effort to deepen cooperation among like-minded democracies in critical tech domains, including AI, cybersecurity, quantum computing, semiconductors, and digital public infrastructure.

The partnership is designed to foster joint research, talent exchange, start-up collaboration, and co-development of advanced digital systems. Officials said the three countries will also work together on shaping global technology standards, safeguarding data flows, and countering cyber threats—areas where shared values and aligned policy frameworks create strong synergy.

The initiative reflects India’s growing role as a global tech leader, with its digital public infrastructure model—such as Aadhaar, UPI, and DigiLocker—gaining worldwide recognition. Australia and Canada have expressed interest in leveraging India's experience in scalable digital platforms while bringing their own strengths in research, deep tech, and innovation ecosystems.

The partnership comes at a time when geopolitical technologies and supply chain resilience are becoming central to international cooperation. By joining forces, the three nations aim to build secure, inclusive, and future-ready digital ecosystems that benefit businesses, governments, and citizens alike.

The trilateral tech collaboration is expected to open new opportunities for start-ups, research institutions, and industries across all three countries, setting the stage for long-term strategic tech alliances.
