Webinar: Game-changer for Europe? The IAA unpacked

With the Industrial Accelerator Act proposal just published, this webinar provided a timely opportunity to explore the industrial impact of the IAA, with a particular focus on critical raw materials, supply chains, and just transition.

Featuring high-level insights from European Institutions, representatives from the non-ferrous metals industry, and NGOs, the webinar unpacked key questions such as:

• Will the IAA truly accelerate industrial projects in Europe?
• Can it effectively reconcile competitiveness, decarbonisation, and social fairness?
