It will hopefully bring\u00a0<strong>greater coherence<\/strong>\u00a0to this round of India-US technological engagement.<\/li>\n<li>iCET will forge closer linkages between the <strong>government, academia and industry<\/strong> of the two countries. The objective is to provide <strong>cutting-edge technologies<\/strong> to the rest of the world which are <strong>affordable<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>The initiative is also seen as an <strong>alignment of strategic, commercial and scientific approaches<\/strong> in the field of technology.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>While many of these emerging technologies have huge future potential, both in the civil sector and the security domain, there are other areas \u2014 less esoteric but equally important on which iCET must focus urgently.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Introduction: Explain iCET.
