Op 19 december 2024 is de internetconsultatie geopend voor het wetsvoorstel over de uitbreiding van het toepassingsbereik van de Wet veiligheidstoetsing investeringen, fusies en overnames (Wet Vifo). Het kabinet is voornemens om het aantal technologieën waarvoor een veiligheidstoets is vereist uit te breiden.

De Wet Vifo vereist voorafgaande melding bij het Bureau Toetsing Investeringen (BTI) van zowel de verwerver als de doelwitonderneming die actief is op het gebied van vitale aanbieders, sensitieve technologie en beheerder van bedrijfscampussen.

Het kabinet is van plan deze categorie uit te breiden met biotechnologie, kunstmatige intelligentie (AI), nanotechnologie en geavanceerde materialen, sensor- en navigatietechnologie en nucleaire technologie met medisch gebruik.
