Description
This program aims to advance U.S.–India collaboration in sports technology by organizing national dialogues, applied demonstrations, and engagement activities across multiple Indian cities. The initiative is part of the broader "Mission 500" effort to double U.S.–India bilateral trade to $500 billion by 2030, leveraging major sports milestones (such as the 2026 FIFA World Cup and 2028 Los Angeles Olympics) to showcase American innovation in sports performance technology, data analytics, and sports medicine. The program will connect Indian sports authorities, professional leagues, sports medicine institutions, and innovation stakeholders with U.S. experts, companies, and research organizations. Activities are expected to foster awareness, technical engagement, and potential partnerships between Indian and U.S. sports sectors.
