Executive Order 14255: Establishing the United States Investment Accelerator

Executive Order 14255 establishes the United States Investment Accelerator to streamline large-scale investment—domestic and foreign—by cutting through regulatory red tape. Housed within the Department of Commerce, the Accelerator will support projects over $1 billion, assist with permitting, facilitate collaboration with national labs, and reduce legal barriers to growth. The initiative aims to make U.S. development more competitive by modernizing outdated processes and working alongside state governments. It also takes over responsibility for the CHIPS Program Office to ensure stronger taxpayer returns on high-tech investments.
