German event: Export Control Week 2026 - Legal certainty and global responsibility

Export control is more important than ever in today's world. Tightened sanctions and embargo regimes, new regulatory requirements, extraterritorial regulations, and new product categories such as artificial intelligence and robotics significantly increase complexity and risk potential for exporting companies. In addition, the issue of armament is becoming increasingly important.

Against this background, IHK Heilbronn Franken invites you to Export Control Week 2026, their predominantly German-language webinar series running from 22 - 26 June 2026.

The EU Sanctions Helpdesk is pleased to participate, and will be contributing to the session on 24 June. All the sessions should offer important information for SMEs.

The session with the Helpdesk's expert, on the 24th, is titled "Embargoes, sanctions regimes & high-risk markets 2026 - Securing distribution channels, controlling circumvention risks". It will focus on:

• Embargo situation 2026
• Embargo-legal sales compliance
• Compliance organisation for sales subsidiaries and authorised dealers
• Contractual provision - practical notes
• Red flags & escalation
• Current developments in the first half of 2026

The webinar is aimed at export control, compliance, legal, sales and customs managers who already have basic knowledge and want to target their sales compliance with the 2026 requirements.
