The Montgomery Summit honored the chairman of the U.S.-India Strategic Partnership Forum (USISPF) and founder of JC2 Ventures, John Chambers, with the 2nd Annual Technology Diplomacy Award in recognition of his contributions to strengthening U.S.-India technology relations.
Chambers, who has visited India more than 50 times, was among the first American executives to recognize the country’s potential for business and technology development, the summit organizers said in a statement. He has been instrumental in fostering cross-border cooperation in cybersecurity, startup growth, and talent exchange.
Through his leadership at USISPF, Chambers has helped position India as a global technology hub while promoting investment from major U.S. tech firms. His work aligns with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s “Digital India” initiative, which has driven expansion in semiconductor manufacturing and digital infrastructure.
“I’m very honored to receive the 2nd Annual Technology Diplomacy Award. I’m proud of USISPF’s work, which has been instrumental in positioning the US-India relationship as the most strategic partnership in the world and fostering collaboration in key sectors like technology, manufacturing, and trade. What’s even more exciting is that this is just the beginning,” Chambers said.
“By building on existing areas of partnership and identifying new areas for collaboration, we can drive economic growth, improve standard of living, and address global challenges to help empower the next generation of innovators,” he added.
“John Chambers has demonstrated outstanding tenacity in fostering cross-border collaboration between the U.S. and India, setting a global standard for tech diplomacy in the private sector. His visionary leadership has not only strengthened innovation and talent exchange between the two nations but has also underscored the vital role of technology in shaping international relations,” said Christina Steinbrecher-Pfandt, CEO, Tech Diplomacy Network, which jointly hosted the summit.
The Montgomery Summit, hosted by venture capital firm March Capital, is an annual gathering of entrepreneurs, investors, and executives. The event showcases emerging technologies and fosters discussions on the evolving global tech landscape.
