Summary

BCLP Partner, Christine Graham, was recently interviewed by Competition Policy International, to discuss how technology is transforming foreign investment reviews.

As governments increasingly scrutinise which technologies are changing hands, foreign investment screening has become more complex, driven by heightened national security concerns.

In the interview, Christine highlights several key themes:

  • Foreign investment screening increasingly reflects economic security concerns alongside traditional national security reviews.
  • Companies pursuing cross-border deals must understand their own technology, supply chains and data exposure before regulators do.
  • Screening regimes continue to evolve, forcing investors to prepare for shifting rules rather than fixed checklists.
