SMR to scale AI: Meeting the energy demands of tomorrow

As global energy systems face unprecedented pressure from accelerating electrification and exponential AI-driven demand, Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) are emerging as a pivotal solution for decarbonized, baseload, and scalable power.

This 60-minute webinar brings together leaders from Schneider Electric, Microsoft, Terra Praxis, and 92 Capital to explore how digital technologies and strategic investment are converging to accelerate SMR deployment—and how next-generation nuclear can power the AI workloads of tomorrow.

In the first segment, we examine the critical role of technology in de-risking and accelerating SMR projects—from software platforms, digital twins, and automation to supply chain optimisation and modular construction techniques. Speakers will share how software and digital innovation can compress timelines and enable cost-effective scalability for nuclear energy.

The second segment explores the rapidly expanding power needs of data centers and AI workloads, and how SMRs can deliver stable, carbon-free baseload energy where traditional grids fall short. Speakers offer perspectives on project financing, electricity offtake agreements, and the conditions needed to drive SMR deployment at scale.

Our speakers will share insights on tech, funding, electricity offtake and more factors needed to drive deployment and scalability of SMRs.

Join us to discover how cutting-edge technology, next-generation nuclear energy, and strategic capital are converging to power the digital world of tomorrow.
