    ZPP Position on the Industrial Accelerator Act Proposal



    Warsaw, 29 April 2026

    ZPP Position on the Industrial Accelerator Act Proposal

    The European Union is facing a steady decline in its industrial and manufacturing sectors, which in the context of growing geopolitical instability both weakens the EU’s competitiveness on the global market and opens up risks of value chain disruptions and critical dependencies. To address this, the European Commission has presented the Proposal for a Regulation on establishing a framework of measures for accelerating industrial capacity and decarbonisation in strategic sectors,[1] more commonly referred to as the Industrial Accelerator Act (IAA). This Act is intended to expand the production and uptake of low-carbon and European-made products, with the larger goal of growing the manufacturing sector’s share of the EU GDP to 20% by 2035 (from the most recent figure of 14.3% in 2024).

    In this Report, the Union of Entrepreneurs and Employers (ZPP) presents the key takeaways from the proposal and offers our opinions on them, as informed by consultations with leading voices in Polish industry.

    ZPP Overview of the Industrial Accelerator Act

    First introduced in the January 2025 Competitiveness Compass, the Industrial Accelerator Act (IAA, originally Industrial Decarbonisation Accelerator Act) is intended to counteract the decline of Europe’s manufacturing sector. To this end, the IAA promises to expedite permit granting processes for manufacturing projects, introduce preferential treatment mechanisms for European-made and low-carbon products, and facilitate Single Market access, with the goal of reducing the risks of strategic dependencies, creating new jobs in the sector, and overall ensuring that manufacturing reaches a value of 20% of the GDP of the EU by 2035.
