In today’s geopolitical environment - where import and export activities are increasingly restricted, yet international trade is set to expand with NATO’s planned strengthening - the moment is right to explore the legal and operational dimensions of export controls on defense-related and dual-use goods. This panel brings together the expertise of Tim Jeurissen (PPG Industries), Liesbeth Truyens (Schoups), and Jochen Vankerckhoven (Alongsight). Together they will address the challenges and help participants overcome legal hurdles through effective compliance policies and screening procedures. Participants will gain practical insights from multiple perspectives on how to navigate - and excel in - a rapidly evolving regulatory landscape.

Key questions:
- The legal and regulatory context of defense-related and dual-use trade.
- Practical hurdles in translating legislation into effective compliance policies.
