Export Control Reform refers to the process of updating and streamlining regulations that govern the export of sensitive technologies and goods. This reform aims to enhance national security while promoting international trade by reducing unnecessary restrictions on exports that do not pose significant risks. The initiative often involves revising lists of controlled items, improving licensing processes, and increasing collaboration between government agencies and the private sector. By doing so, the reform seeks to balance the need for security with the benefits of economic growth and innovation in industries such as defense, technology, and manufacturing.
