The global defense and security landscape gets more complex by the day, with regional hotspots shifting rapidly and closer national security scrutiny on investment flows and critical technology developments. Great Power competition is a top concern, and heightened priority on supply chain security and resiliency following the war in Ukraine and the Middle East remains paramount. BCIU’s activities in defense and national security assist members in navigating these issues by serving as a strategic partner, informing members on policy shifts, areas of increased cooperation particularly on innovation and emerging technologies, political risk analysis, regulatory and licensing decisions, as well as burgeoning procurement opportunities.
