This report builds on the key outcomes and findings from CONVERGE: The Indo-Pacific Critical Tech Forum on AI and Semiconductors 2024, a Track 1.5 dialogue that aimed to examine key technical, policy, and operational approaches of the Quadrilateral Security Dialogue (Quad), comprising the United States (US), Japan, Australia, and India, alongside two Southeast Asian countries: Singapore and the Philippines.

Accompanying the key findings of the Track 1.5 dialogue are policy chapters written by experts that further provide a deep dive into the varying contexts and prospects of the US, Japan, Australia, India, Singapore, and the Philippines on AI and semiconductors in the evolving Indo-Pacific landscape.

Over the long term, it is hoped that CONVERGE leads to the institutionalization of QUAD-Southeast Asia cooperation to promote a wider Indo-Pacific collaboration on critical and emerging technologies.
