Eating Compliance for Breakfast | UK Subsidy Control – a fresh approach to the regulation of grant funding and public/private investments

The UK government has recently published a new UK Subsidy Control Bill which will replace the previous EU State aid rulebook and regulate subsidies, grants and investments made by public bodies across the UK. The new regime is expected to enter force in early 2022.
Our session will look at the opportunities and risks that the new regime will create compared to the previous EU State aid rules, with a particular focus on the position of private companies receiving public sector investment or support, including through established grant programmes (such as Innovate UK) and public/private matched fund investment vehicles.
