to

The Industry and Exports (Financial Assistance) Act 2026 enables the UK government to provide financial support to domestic industries and businesses seeking to expand into export markets. This includes grants, loans, and guarantees designed to help companies compete internationally and strengthen UK manufacturing and services sectors. The act establishes the legal framework and funding mechanisms for these assistance programmes, allowing government departments to deploy capital directly to eligible businesses. It aims to boost economic growth, create jobs, and improve the UK's trade position postBrexit.
