BTI is responsible for reviewing investments in specific sectors in the Netherlands, such as the gas, electricity and telecoms sectors. Following the entry into force of the act on security review of investments, mergers and takeovers (Vifo Act) on 1 June 2023, the BTI has also become responsible for reviewing investments in specific vital operators or investments in companies active in sensitive technology. This is why the interviewers sit with Ivo Nobel to have a closer look at this new act and the future of investment review in the Netherlands.
