WHAT IS CEE NIC 2026 ?

Esteemed Colleagues,


On behalf of the Organizing Committee, it is our privilege to welcome you to the 11th Central & Eastern Europe Nuclear Industry Congress 2026, Colocated: SMR&AR CEE FOCUS, held in the strategic heart of the region—Warsaw, Poland.


2026 marks a historic pivot. Central & Eastern Europe has evolved from a region of "ambition" to a frontline of "industrial execution."With over €114 billion in projected investments and 15+ GW of new capacity in the pipeline, CEE stands as the world’s most dynamic nuclear growth engine.


This 11th edition of NuCEE is designed to be more than a forum—it is a Commercial Accelerator. Our 2026 agenda focuses on shattering the industry's most pressing bottlenecks: Financing Innovation, Supply Chain Localization, and Regulatory Harmonization.Across two days, you will join 250+ senior decision-makers—from government ministers and utility CEOs to hyperscalers and global financiers—to solve the complex challenges of large-scale deployment.


This is where the future of European energy is being built. We invite you to leverage this platform to forge the strategic partnerships and secure the contracts that will define the next decade of the CEE nuclear renaissance.


We look forward to welcoming you in Warsaw.


Best regards,

The Organizing Committee
