Brussels, 4 March 2026 – Today, Stéphane Séjourné, the European Commission’s Executive Vice-President for Prosperity and Industrial Strategy, presented his proposal for an Industrial Accelerator Act.
The official title of the Commission’s proposal is “Proposal for a Regulation on establishing a framework of measures for accelerating industrial capacity and decarbonisation in strategic sectors” – COM(2026)100.
