We’re bringing together policymakers, industry leaders, researchers, Indigenous representatives, and other stakeholders to explore the role of nuclear energy in achieving net-zero targets and decarbonizing critical industries.

Hosted at McMaster University, Nuclear Renaissance 2.0 will examine the energy transition from a business and finance perspective, addressing investment risks, supply chain challenges, regulatory hurdles, fuel security, and opportunities for market expansion. Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) will be a major focus, in addition to broader nuclear energy advancements, including CANDU technology and other emerging innovations. Discussions will span public policy, Indigenous engagement, workforce training, and finance to support a decarbonized energy future.

By integrating diverse perspectives and expertise, Nuclear Renaissance 2.0 aims to foster collaboration and actionable strategies to secure nuclear energy’s role in a sustainable, low-carbon economy.
