2430 Group Speaking Engagements
2430 Group Co-Founder Tom Lyons talks to the The Washington Times’ Threat Status podcast about the People's Republic of China's ongoing campaign of intellectual property theft. During the episode, Lyons explained how the PRC uses a sophisticated blend of coercion, fraud, and state-sponsored economic espionage to acquire American innovation. These activities directly undermine US economic stability and national security by eroding technological competitiveness and threatening American jobs. Lyons emphasized that small businesses, the primary engines of US innovation, are frequently targeted and remain uniquely vulnerable to these predatory practices.
2430 Group Co-Founder Tom Lyons testified on April 22, 2026, before the Senate Judiciary Committee in a hearing titled, “Stealth Stealing: China’s Ongoing Theft of U.S. Innovation.” The People’s Republic of China acquires US technology and other intellectual property via coercion, fraud, and espionage. This state-sponsored activity damages the US economy and national security, costing jobs and economic and technological competitiveness. Small businesses, which drive a significant share of US innovation, remain especially vulnerable to the PRC's attacks. 2430 Group equips these firms with the tools to identify risks and protect their technologies in an increasingly contested global environment.
2430 Group Co-Founder Tom Lyons testified on March 25, 2026 before the House Committee on Small Business in a hearing on Chinese Communist Party (CCP) threats to Main Street. The People’s Republic of China’s program of economic coercion and intellectual property theft costs US companies trillions of dollars in lost revenue every year. Small businesses constitute the overwhelming majority of innovation in the United States and thus bear the disproportionate burden of China’s attacks. 2430 Group equips those firms to defend themselves.
