New Office to Speed Big Investments
The President ordered a new United States Investment Accelerator to be set up inside the Department of Commerce within 30 days of March 31, 2025. The office will help facilitate and accelerate investments above $1 billion by assisting investors with U.S. Government regulatory processes and reducing regulatory burdens where allowed by law.
Works With All 50 States To Cut Red Tape
The Investment Accelerator must work with State governments in all 50 States to reduce regulatory barriers and increase domestic and foreign investment. That work explicitly covers coordination across federal, State, and local legal regimes to address delays in permitting and construction.
CHIPS Office Focused On Better Deals For Taxpayers
The Investment Accelerator will be responsible for the CHIPS Program Office within the Department of Commerce, and that office is directed to focus on delivering the benefit of the bargain for taxpayers by negotiating much better deals than those of the previous administration. This is an explicit direction in the order tied to taxpayer outcomes.
Identify Legal Mechanisms To Help Investors
The Investment Accelerator must identify existing mechanisms, exceptions, and opportunities in Federal law that can be used to assist foreign and domestic investors, consistent with protection of national security. The office is explicitly ordered to look for legal avenues to speed or ease investment approvals.
Helps Firms Team Up With National Labs
The Investment Accelerator is charged with facilitating research collaborations with U.S. national laboratories to support investors and companies building in the United States. The order explicitly includes increasing access to and use of national resources where appropriate and consistent with law.
