Nuclear’s role in the hydrogen economy
Hydrogen is rapidly moving to the center of Europe’s decarbonization strategy. It is seen as the missing piece for decarbonizing “hard-to-abate” sectors such as steel, cement, fertilizer, refining, and heavy transport. The European Commission’s Hydrogen Strategy envisions 40 GW of electrolysis capacity by 2030 and a mature market by 2050. Despite its
Nuclear supply chain under pressure in a fragmented world
The nuclear sector is entering a new phase of global expansion. Across the globe, governments are commissioning new large-scale reactors, accelerating SMR development, and investing in advanced fuel cycles. Ambitions are bold: the EU has reaffirmed its support for next-generation nuclear projects as part of its decarbonization strategy, while the United Stat
The scaling challenge for SMR startups
SMRs have become one of the most closely watched frontiers in energy innovation. Their promise is compelling: faster deployment, modular construction, enhanced safety features, and the ability to bring nuclear power into markets and applications where gigawatt-scale reactors are impractical. For governments, investors, and utilities, SMRs represent both a cl
Unlocking nuclear’s potential in district heating, a strategic opportunity for Central and Eastern Europe
As Europe accelerates its decarbonization agenda, the energy transition is no longer focused solely on electricity. Heating and cooling account for around half of Europe’s final energy demand, yet remain one of the most carbon-intensive sectors. In Central and Eastern Europe, where district heating networks are widespread and heavily dependent on fossil fu
France’s nuclear renaissance and the talent imperative
France stands at the forefront of Europe’s nuclear revival. With the government committing to a new generation of EPR2 reactors, the refurbishment of La Hague, the construction of Georges Besse II enrichment plant, a first wave of SMRs, and ambitious investments in next-generation technologies, the sector is set for unprecedented expansion. Yet, beneath th
Beyond Earth: how nuclear power is fueling the next frontier in space exploration
Space is no longer the exclusive domain of science fiction or flagship government missions. Today, the new space race is not just about reaching the Moon or Mars first—it is about building the infrastructure that will make long-term exploration, settlement, and economic activity beyond Earth feasible. At the core of this strategic shift lies a […]
The execution gap in nuclear: designing bankable projects at scale
A new chapter is unfolding for nuclear energy. From fusion breakthroughs to the commercial deployment of SMRs, the global race to decarbonize is putting nuclear technologies back at the center of energy conversations. However, this renaissance is not driven solely by engineering excellence. What’s emerging is a new imperative: to turn promising technologie
How strategic innovation in nuclear can deliver climate and energy resilience
Achieving climate neutrality while securing stable energy access is one of the most significant industrial challenges of our time. As governments confront volatile fuel markets and soaring electricity demand, nuclear energy is being redefined—not as legacy infrastructure, but as a core engine of innovation. Next-generation nuclear technologies, including s
Why Europe must rethink nuclear deployment at scale
Europe’s ambition to reach net zero by 2050 hinges on one unavoidable reality: the continent needs more clean, dispatchable, and secure electricity. Nuclear power is central to meeting this need — but only if we stop treating it as a special case or future option, and start embedding it within long-term infrastructure and industrial planning. […]
Nuclear medicine, a strategic imperative for future-ready healthcare
In today’s fast-evolving healthcare environment, the ability to deliver precise, personalized, and minimally invasive diagnostics and therapies has become a core necessity—not merely a competitive edge. At the forefront of this transformation is nuclear medicine, a powerful discipline that visualizes and impacts physiological processes at the molecular l
