The European Commission’s proposal for an Industrial Accelerator Act is intended to strengthen the EU’s industrial competitiveness, stimulate decarbonisation, and reduce strategic supply-chain dependencies.

On 4 March, the European Commission adopted its highly anticipated proposal for a regulation establishing a framework of measures for accelerating industrial capacity and decarbonisation (IAA or Industrial Accelerator Act), see the press release here.
