47G Investor Roundtable: Targeting Utah — Protecting the Defense Sector from Foreign Threats

​Hosted by 47G & Holland & Knight | Intimate Executive Session

​Utah's defense industrial base is a high-value target. Foreign adversaries, led by China, Russia, and Iran, are actively pursuing Utah defense companies through IP theft, talent recruitment, supply chain infiltration, and cyber intrusion. Most companies don't know they're being targeted until the damage is done.

​This closed-door roundtable brings together a small group of senior leaders from Utah's defense sector for a candid conversation on the threat landscape and what your organization needs to do about it: legally, operationally, and strategically.

​Topics on the table:

• ​How adversaries are specifically targeting Utah's defense supply chain

• ​What ITAR, FOCI, CMMC, and export controls actually require and where companies fall short

• ​CFIUS and foreign investment red flags

• ​Insider threat and vendor vetting in practice

• ​What the current administration's policy direction means for contractors

​Featured:

​Andrew McAllister, Partner, Holland & Knight (Washington, D.C.), member of the State Department's Defense Trade Advisory Group (DTAG), with deep expertise in export controls, facility security clearances, and FOCI mitigation.

​Format: Executive roundtable. Chatham House rules. No slides, just direct conversation.
