The IFAST Industry Advisory Board (IAB) is composed by representatives from European companies operating in the most relevant accelerator industrial sectors. The main goal of the IAB is to advise the project management on matters related to the industrial participation in IFAST. The launch of the IAB, a responsibility of WP3, consists in completing the procedure for the appointment of the members of the Board and in scheduling the first IAB meeting, and it was accomplished with the official invitation letters sent out on October 19, 2021 and with the announcement of the first meeting circulated to the members on the following day. In the I.FAST proposal the launch of the IAB was defined as a milestone to be achieved by the end of October 2021.
