Industry Advisory Council
Advocacy for Industry
The Industry Advisory Council is the primary vehicle for raising advocacy issues to the forefront and represents the interests of various industries and facilitates a combined engagement with sanctions and export control policies globally. The Industry Council serves as a platform for collaboration, dialogue, and information-sharing between industry stakeholders and policy makers. The importance of the Industry Council lies in its ability to provide a collective voice for companies and industries affected by sanctions and export controls across multiple jurisdictions. It enables the private sector to contribute expertise, insights, and practical perspectives to the development, implementation, and enforcement of these measures.
