The US State Department said it used last week's United Nations General Assembly High Level Week to launch a public-private partnership intended to spread what it calls the American Super Intelligence technology stack to entrepreneurs abroad, in a fact sheet published on September 29, 2026. The technology and cyber items were part of a much broader diplomatic round-up that also covered humanitarian aid, antiquities repatriation, critical minerals and immigration policy.
What the department announced
The department said it announced "a new public-private partnership to empower global entrepreneurs with American Super Intelligence (SI) innovation and technology through private sector contributions of tools, training, and mentorship."
According to the fact sheet, the Network for Entrepreneurship and Technology, or NExT, is "aimed at ensuring the American SI tech stack is integrated as the trusted choice for foreign entrepreneurship ecosystems." The department said the initiative pairs its diplomatic reach with private sector contributions to connect international startups to American Super Intelligence infrastructure, licensing, mentorship and technical training.
The named inaugural partners are Amazon, Google, Meta, Microsoft, NVIDIA and the Global Entrepreneurship Network. The fact sheet does not state funding amounts, timelines or which countries will take part first.
Nineteen countries added to a supply-chain framework
Separately, the department said it signed 19 new countries onto what it described as a foundational building block for collaboration between the United States and strategic partner economies.
Those partners, it said, commit to fostering a pro-growth, pro-innovation regulatory environment that empowers startups, developers and the private sector "while aligning its Super Intelligence supply chains with those of the United States and Pax Silica economies." The fact sheet does not name the countries or the framework's formal title.
Cybercrime visa restrictions
On the security side, the department said it announced steps to impose visa restrictions on 32 individuals "responsible for or complicit in defrauding Americans through cybercrime, cyber-enabled crime, and related activity."
It said the majority of those individuals are affiliated with the Prince Group, which the department described as a transnational criminal organization that has been the subject of multiple US sanctions actions for its role in defrauding Americans.
The department also said it launched an online tip portal for members of the public to help identify and stop suspected fraud and misuse of US visas, citing protection of the US economy, American workers, national security and public safety.
Nuclear technology cooperation
Following a trilateral ministerial meeting between the United States, Japan and the Republic of Korea, the department said the United States announced the establishment of an Implementation Plan supporting a Memorandum of Cooperation on Small Modular Reactor deployments in other countries.
According to the fact sheet, the three participants signed that memorandum in Ankara on July 7 of this year. No further technical or commercial details were given.
What to do
- The State Department says members of the public can use its new online tip portal to help identify and report suspected fraud and misuse of US visas.
- Startups and entrepreneurship organizations outside the United States that want access to the tools, licensing, mentorship and technical training described under NExT should watch for details from the department and its named partners, as the fact sheet does not give an application process.
