Welcome to WNIC-SMR Europe 2027

JOIN AS A SPEAKER JOIN AS DELEGATE

HOT ISSUES

Policy & Regulation

EU SMR Strategy and COM/2026/117, harmonised cross-border licensing, and the completed UK GDA as Europe's reference case for national deployment.

Finance & Bankability

Bankable models—RAB, CfD and the GBN successive-development approach—with EIB, EBRD, national wealth funds and private capital solving FOAK-to-NOAK risk allocation.

Flagship Projects & Global Case Studies

Rolls-Royce SMR at Wylfa, EDF's Nuward, BWRX-300 in Poland and NuScale in Romania—benchmarked against Darlington and the pace-setters in North America and Asia.

Demand & Offtake — Data Centres, AI & Industrial Heat

Hyperscaler–nuclear PPAs, industrial buyers under ETS/CBAM pressure, and the offtake structures that make Europe's first SMR projects bankable.

Technology & Innovation

Advanced reactors and AMRs—LFR, MSR, HTGR, SFR and microreactors—powering hydrogen, industrial and district heat, and Europe's fast-growing AI/data-centre demand.

Supply Chain & Industrial Ecosystem

Rebuilding nuclear-grade manufacturing—RPV forgings, ASME capacity, modular fabrication and SME participation—turning LOIs into the firm orders that deliver Europe's first fleets.

Fuel Cycle & Waste Management

Sovereign, de-Russified HALEU and enrichment capacity, recycling and back-end economics, plus Europe's pioneering deep geological repositories for safe spent-fuel solutions.

Digitalisation & Public Trust

AI, digital twins and robotics bending the cost-and-schedule curve on FOAK delivery, while strengthening regulator acceptance and public confidence.
