EU Industrial Accelerator Act - what could it mean to UK manufacturing sector?
The EU Industrial Accelerator Act (IAA) is moving through the European Parliament and Council, with mandatory 'Made in EU' procurement rules for strategic sectors on the table from 2029. For UK manufacturers exporting to the EU, the outcome of ongoing negotiations could reshape and determine future access to EU public contracts and supply chain. Join us for a session discussing the current IAA proposal, why does it matter for UK manufacturers and exporters and what they should be getting ready for.
This special interest group provides members operating within the manufacturing industry a chance to network with like-minded individuals with whom you can discuss challenges and solutions to the impact of the EU Industrial Accelerator Act.
