Educational Session|Advanced Nuclear

Description: As advanced reactor companies move from technology maturation toward deployment, their business needs change substantially. This panel examines the shift from innovation-focused organizations to project delivery organizations, and the management infrastructure needed to execute commercial projects.

What you'll gain: Learn how reactor developers manage the transition from technology development to project execution; understand when and how companies begin locking down designs, suppliers, and delivery models; and identify the organizational capabilities investors, customers, and partners should expect as technologies mature.

Who should attend: Advanced reactor developers transitioning to deployment, investors evaluating technology maturity and execution risk, project managers and construction leaders, engineering firms supporting first-of-a-kind projects, and supply chain or vendor management professionals.
