BEIS creates NSI Stakeholder Digital Toolkits

The National Security and Investment (NSI) Act – the biggest upgrade to investment screening in the UK for 20 years - will come into effect from 4 January 2022.

The Act modernises the Government’s powers to investigate and intervene in mergers, acquisitions and other deals that could threaten the UK’s national security.

Businesses and investors are urged to get ready for the changes, with guidance published to ensure a smooth transition to the new rules.

The Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy has created NSI Stakeholder Digital Toolkits which have been designed to provide businesses and investors with key information on the NSI Act that they can easily share within their sector, on their websites and in newsletters.

The toolkits include website and newsletter copy, social media messaging and graphics, and links to the NSI published guidance. Industry bodies can choose what information they wish to use from the toolkits, which will be digitally updated by Government when new information can be provided.
