The Department for Business, Innovation, Science and Trade (BIST), in partnership with the UK Nuclear Industry Association, invites UK civil nuclear companies to join a targeted trade mission to Canada—one of the world’s most active and strategically important nuclear markets.
Canada is advancing major refurbishment, new-build and small modular reactor (SMR) programmes, backed by strong federal and provincial support for supply-chain development and international partnerships. The mission will connect UK companies directly with utilities, government stakeholders, developers, Tier 1 contractors and supply-chain partners seeking expertise in project delivery, engineering, manufacturing, skills, financing, regulation, digital solutions and specialist services.
Why join?
- Meet Canadian nuclear decision-makers, utilities, developers and supply-chain partners.
- Showcase UK expertise in areas of strong Canadian demand, including project delivery, advanced manufacturing, nuclear-grade materials, skills, licensing, construction productivity and supply-chain integration.
- Take part in curated business-to-business meetings across Ontario and Ottawa.
- Gain insight into procurement pipelines, upcoming opportunities and routes to market.
- Build relationships supporting Canada’s next phase of nuclear growth, including refurbishment, SMRs, new-build projects and supply-chain expansion.
