From Strategy to Implementation. Building an EU–India AI Partnership

The EU needs new partners to advance its AI industrial policy agenda and decrease its structural dependence on US and Chinese technology. India with its expanding AI start-up ecosystem, large pool of technical talent, and access to diverse, large-scale datasets could be such a partner. To date, however, cooperation remains largely at the level of strategic intent. To implement an EU-India AI partnership, this policy brief proposes recommendations across four pillars: AI compute infrastructure, data, language technologies, and the innovation ecosystem. Such cooperation can strengthen AI capabilities, support inclusive digital growth, and enhance competitiveness for both partners.
