Introduction
The global conversation around nuclear energy is entering a new phase. As electricity demand rises and pressure grows to deliver reliable, low-carbon energy at scale, attention is shifting from long-term ambition to practical implementation.
Opening the CORE POWER London Summit 2026, CEO Mikal Bøe explores what it means to "get ready to deliver" and how maritime nuclear can help reshape the future of energy infrastructure through new industrial models, international collaboration and scalable deployment.
Session Overview
As governments and industry seek solutions that can meet growing energy demand while strengthening energy security, maritime nuclear is increasingly being recognized as more than a technological concept. The focus is now on creating the industrial, regulatory and commercial conditions needed to deploy these technologies efficiently and at scale.
In this keynote, Mikal Bøe examines how maritime nuclear can overcome many of the challenges associated with traditional infrastructure delivery by adopting new approaches to manufacturing, international cooperation and project execution. The discussion explores the opportunities presented by floating nuclear power plants and highlights the importance of moving beyond individual projects towards repeatable delivery models capable of supporting global energy needs.
The session sets the tone for the wider Summit, introducing many of the themes explored throughout the day, including industrial capability, regulation, commercial deployment and the future role of maritime nuclear within the global energy transition.
