About

The program examines how the U.S. government supports qualified American companies pursuing foreign government procurement opportunities. Topics include the America First Arms Transfer Strategy and its focus on domestic manufacturing, critical supply chains, and the U.S. defense industrial base through foreign defense sales; how the U.S. Department of Commerce Advocacy Center coordinates government resources for international contracts; and how Utah capabilities in aerospace, defense, space, autonomy, software, electronics, communications, and advanced manufacturing may align with international defense needs. The discussion also covers coordination with U.S. embassies and federal agencies, the importance of early engagement, and the information needed to develop an effective federal advocacy strategy.
