Legal advice on the Industrial Accelerator Act

With the planned Industrial Accelerator Act, the European Union is pursuing the goal of accelerating investment in strategically important industries and removing regulatory hurdles for industrial transformation projects. The initiative is part of the European Green Deal, the Net-Zero Industry Act and European industrial and location policy. Although the specific legal framework is still under political discussion, it is becoming apparent that the Industrial Accelerator Act is intended to simplify and accelerate approval procedures, investment conditions and funding instruments for large-scale industrial projects, for example in the areas of energy, decarbonisation, critical technologies and strategic supply chains.

For companies in the industrial, energy, infrastructure and technology sectors, the Industrial Accelerator Act could create new investment opportunities, funding instruments and regulatory relief. At the same time, the development of the legal framework requires early legal classification and strategic support. Our lawyers advise companies in connection with the Industrial Accelerator Act, monitor regulatory developments at EU level and support clients in adapting to possible new approval, funding and compliance structures at an early stage and in taking advantage of opportunities offered by new industrial policy instruments.
