印度，新加坡在半導體生態系統上合作，高級製造業

The governments of India and Singapore have collaborated to develop the semiconductor ecosystem for advanced manufacturing. Simultaneously, India and the United States are promoting strategic semiconductor supply chain partnerships and building new collaborations around artificial intelligence (AI) and advanced computing.

印度和新加坡政府已合作開發了高級製造業的半導體生態系統。同時，印度和美國正在促進戰略性半導體供應鏈合作夥伴關係，並圍繞人工智能（AI）和高級計算建立新的合作。

The partnerships come at a time when India is looking to become a semiconductor powerhouse, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi setting ambitious goals to boost the electronics sector from $155 billion to $500 billion by 2030 as part of the country’s push to become self-reliant in manufacturing. According to the Ministry of Electronics & Information Technology (MEITy), the rapid expansion targets to reduce reliance on imports. As the demand for semiconductors surges worldwide, India’s burgeoning semiconductor infrastructure is expected to drive innovation, create jobs, and secure the country’s position as a significant player in the global digital economy.

夥伴關係是在印度希望成為半導體強國的時候，總理納倫德拉·莫迪（Narendra Modi）設定了雄心勃勃的目標，將電子領域從1550億美元提高到2030年，這是該國成為製造業自力更生的一部分。根據電子和信息技術部（MEITY）的說法，快速擴展目標是減少對進口的依賴。隨著全球半導體的需求激增，印度新興的半導體基礎設施有望推動創新，創造就業機會並確保該國在全球數字經濟中成為重要參與者的地位。

Singaporean President Tharman Shanmugaratnam was in India earlier in January and held separate talks with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, with a broad focus on further expanding bilateral ties.

新加坡總統Tharman Shanmugaratnam於1月初在印度與總理納倫德拉·莫迪（Narendra Modi）進行了單獨的會談，廣泛著重於進一步擴大雙邊關係。

“Earlier this evening, met the President of Singapore, Mr. Tharman Shanmugaratnam. We discussed the full range of the India-Singapore Comprehensive Strategic Partnership. We talked about futuristic sectors like semiconductors, digitalisation, skilling, connectivity and more. We also spoke on ways to improve cooperation in industry, infrastructure and culture,” Narendra Modi said in an X post.

“今晚早些時候，遇見了新加坡總統Tharman Shanmugaratnam先生。我們討論了印度 - 遜加邦綜合戰略合作夥伴關係的全部範圍。我們談到了未來派的部門，例如半導體，數字化，技能，連通性等。我們還談到了改善工業，基礎設施和文化合作的方法。”

Semiconductors are crucial to modern technology, powering devices from smartphones to advanced industrial systems. The global chip shortage during the COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the urgent need for more diverse and resilient supply chains.

半導體對於現代技術至關重要，從智能手機到先進的工業系統為設備提供動力。共同19日大流行期間的全球芯片短缺強調了迫切需要對更多多樣化和彈性的供應鏈。

The Indian state of Odisha has partnered with Singapore-based organizations to boost skill development, driving industrial and economic growth. Odisha signed eight memoranda of understanding (MoUs) with the Singapore government in key sectors including the fintech ecosystem, semiconductors, and skill development.

印度奧里薩邦與新加坡組織合作，以提高技能發展，推動工業和經濟增長。奧里薩邦（Odisha）與新加坡政府在包括金融科技生態系統，半導體和技能發展在內的主要部門簽署了八個諒解備忘錄（MOUS）。

The MoU on semiconductor skilling in Odisha will assess the demand for skilled workers in India’s semiconductor sector and available job opportunities. It allows Singapore to design a curriculum based on its expertise in areas like semiconductor fundamentals, processes, metrology, devices, integrated circuits, industrial automation, cleanroom technology, and design engineering.

奧里薩邦（Odisha）半導體技能的諒解備忘錄將評估印度半導體行業中熟練工人的需求和可用的工作機會。它允許新加坡根據其在半導體，過程，計量，設備，集成電路，工業自動化，清潔室技術和設計工程等領域等領域的專業知識來設計課程。

India’s recent collaborations highlight the emerging shifts in the global technological landscape, signaling a potential dramatic reconfiguration of global power in the semiconductor industry. As China intensifies efforts to protect and strengthen its semiconductor sector, India is taking ambitious strides to establish its chip manufacturing ecosystem. These moves could reshape the balance of technological influence and innovation in the years to come, especially with the U.S. indicating as much as a 60% tariff on Chinese imports, while considering India as an ally.

印度最近的合作凸顯了全球技術環境的新興轉變，這表明了半導體行業全球權力的潛在重新配置。隨著中國加強保護和加強其半導體部門的努力，印度正在雄心勃勃地建立其芯片製造生態系統。這些舉動可以重塑未來幾年的技術影響力和創新的平衡，尤其是在美國表明對中國進口的60％的關稅，同時將印度視為盟友。

India advances collaboration with the US

印度與美國的合作發展

With the U.S., India is looking to deepen collaboration across key sectors, including semiconductors, biotechnology, cybersecurity, space technology, and advanced telecommunications. India and the U.S. are strengthening their technology partnerships amidst the ongoing trade war between the world’s two largest economies. At the same time, the Modi-led Indian government is positioning India as an alternative for global tech companies seeking to reduce reliance on China in their supply chains.

在美國，印度希望加深跨關鍵領域的合作，包括半導體，生物技術，網絡安全，太空技術和高級電信。印度和美國正在加強他們的技術合作夥伴關係，這是世界上兩個最大經濟體之間持續的貿易戰。同時，領導的印度政府正在將印度定位為尋求減少對中國供應鏈中的依賴中國的全球科技公司的替代方案。

In a January statement, the White House said that the two nations are building on the U.S.-India semiconductor supply chain and innovation partnership. The countries are promoting secure, resilient, and sustainable semiconductor supply chains through collaboration between the U.S. Department of Commerce and the India Semiconductor Mission, MEITy, including facilitating investments in semiconductor manufacturing. The countries are also strengthening research and development collaboration around state-of-the-art semiconductor and packaging technologies.

白宮在一月份的聲明中說，這兩個國家正在美國印度半導體供應鍊和創新夥伴關係建設。這些國家通過美國商務部和印度半導體任務之間的合作，包括促進半導體製造的投資，促進了安全，韌性和可持續的半導體供應鏈。這些國家還在加強圍繞最先進的半導體和包裝技術的研發合作。

The two nations are advancing “A semiconductor partnership between the U.S. Space Force and 3rdiTech to establish a compound semiconductor fabrication plant in India to manufacture infrared, gallium nitride, and silicon carbide semiconductors that will be used in national security-relevant platforms. This includes favorably reviewing a technical assistance agreement and export licenses to promote technology transfers,” the White House statement informed.

這兩個國家正在推進“美國太空部隊和3RDITECH之間的半導體合作夥伴關係，以在印度建立一個複合的半導體製造廠，以生產紅外，硝酸鹽和碳化矽半導體，該廠將用於國家安全含量的平台。這包括審查技術援助協議和出口許可，以促進技術轉移。”白宮聲明說。

India and the U.S. are also working on developing a government framework to promote reciprocal investments in AI and align protections for its diffusion; enhancing cooperation on AI’s national security applications following the U.S. National Security Memorandum; fostering sustained engagement on Quantum Information Science and Technology (QIST), and initiating new quantum science cooperation, including workshops on post-quantum cryptography and technical visits to U.S. quantum institutions.

印度和美國也正在努力開發政府框架，以促進對AI的相互投資，並使其擴散相結合；在美國國家安全備忘錄之後，加強在AI國家安全申請上的合作；促進量子信息科學技術（QIST）的持續參與，並啟動新的量子科學合作，包括有關量子後加密術的講習班和對美國量子機構的技術訪問。
