Powering the Surge: Energy Resilience and Nuclear Energy’s Role

Asia's nuclear energy sector is experiencing a dramatic renaissance, with reactor construction accelerating across the continent and nations reviving long-dormant initiatives with fresh political will. The emergence of small modular reactors has repositioned nuclear energy not as a relic of the Cold War era, but as an indispensable pillar of energy security and the clean-energy transition. Yet for investors and policymakers alike, the upside is matched by complexity encompassing project financing, critical infrastructure and materials supply chains, and the challenge of swings in public opinion. This session brings together energy executives, policymakers, and infrastructure investors to examine how Asia's nuclear pivot is reshaping the continent's energy architecture and what this shift signals for the global clean-energy investment landscape.
