Moderator for the Two-day Conference on “Understanding National Security Concerns in Light of FDI Screening”

In  October 2022, Professor Steffen Hindelang moderated a two-day conference on “Understanding National Security Concerns in Light of FDI Screening” held at Rome.

The conference addressed the concerns of the lack of legal certainty in implications of FDI Screening mechanisms under the grounds of “national security”, “strategic interests”, “critical infrastructure”, “public order” and concepts of the like. It helped practitioners and scholars to understand or delimit the wide understanding of these concepts and grounds of FDI screening and gave a space to discuss the central question of what should be the approach towards understanding these concepts when used as parameters to screen inbound FDI.

The key sponsors and patrons for the conference were the CELIS Institute, Datenna and Blomstein.
