About This Session

Resilient cross-border expansion is essential for quantum ventures, yet inadvertent export control violations or compliance missteps under foreign investment regimes can result in revoked licences, severe legal liability and blocked market access.

This final session provides clear guidance on managing European dual-use regimes while navigating the extraterritorial reach of US export rules, foreign investment screening and transatlantic expansion challenges.

Key Pillars Covered

1. EU Regimes & BAFA

• • Dual-Use Classification: Classifying quantum components, devices and software under export control lists (e.g., BAFA).
  • Licensing & Research: Managing cross-border research collaborations and obtaining export licences without delaying product delivery pipelines.

2. US Reach & Investment Screening

• • Extraterritorial Regulations: Navigating ITAR and EAR jurisdictional reach, including US component content rules for international products.
  • Transatlantic Scale-Up Governance: Managing CFIUS investment screening and foreign asset implications to safeguard access to US capital and commercial markets.
