The leaders of each country announced the Australia-Canada-India Technology and Innovation Partnership on the sidelines of the G20 Summit in Johannesburg earlier this week.
The partnership will focus on cooperation on critical and emerging technologies, with an emphasis on green energy innovation and building resilient supply chains, including in critical minerals.
In addition, the partnership will also examine the development and mass adoption of artificial intelligence.
“Together we will find new ways to cooperate on technology and innovation in areas like clean energy, critical minerals and artificial intelligence,” said Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese.
“I look forward to working with you, for the mutual benefit of our nations.”
It’s understood that officials will next convene in the first quarter of 2026 to take the initiative forward.
“Had an excellent meeting with Mr Anthony Albanese, PM of Australia and Mr Mark Carney, PM of Canada, on the sidelines of the G20 Summit in Johannesburg. We are delighted to announce an Australia-Canada-India Technology and Innovation Partnership,” said Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
“The initiative will deepen collaboration between democratic partners across three continents and three oceans in emerging technologies, support diversification of supply chains, clean energy and mass adoption of artificial intelligence.
