Join Macomb Regional APEX Accelerator in collaboration with the Michigan Alliance of APEX Accelerators and subject matter expert Ian Patterson as we discuss Foreign Ownership, Control, or Influence. Driven by concerns about Russia and China gaining access to classified information or technology through contractors, this decade has seen the expansion of Foreign Ownership, Control, or Influence (FOCI) reporting and mitigation efforts. The objective of FOCI regulations is to prevent foreign actors from obtaining sensitive information by controlling the operations of federal contractors through ownership. In this presentation, Ian will provide an overview of FOCI regulations and walk through some of the specified mitigation strategies.

Take-Away Tuesdays are designed to deliver high-value content, in short order, with plenty of substance, as well as an opportunity to ask the SME!

There is no fee to attend, however, registration is required.
