Europe’s industrial future is being shaped today. The Industrial Accelerator Act offers a unique opportunity to strengthen Europe’s industrial base, reinforce its economic security and accelerate investment in strategic industries.

To contribute to this debate, Kathleen Van Brempt, member of the European Parliament and co-rapporteur on the Industrial Accelerator Act, is inviting you to join a select group of industry leaders for a high-level exchange of views on the challenges for industry.
