Event Details

As cross-border data regulations tighten across both the US and China, companies are under increasing pressure to reassess their data governance strategies. With U.S. Executive Order 14117 now in effect, restricting the transfer of sensitive personal and genomic data to "foreign adversaries", and China's new Personal Information Outbound Certification Measures set to take effect on January 1, 2026, businesses must navigate a rapidly evolving regulatory landscape.


This session brings together policy experts, legal advisors, and corporate leaders to examine how companies are responding in practice. Key discussion points will include:

  • A breakdown of EO14117's key provisions and its implications for US-invested companies operating in China;
  • Operational and compliance challenges posed by China's outbound data certification regime;
  • Strategies for building resilience in global data operations amid increasing restrictions;
  • Case studies on how companies are enhancing internal coordination, conducting data audits, and leveraging technology to strengthen compliance.


The session aims to equip participants with actionable insights to mitigate regulatory risks, maintain business continuity, and adapt to the shifting dynamics of cross-border data governance.
