This year\u2019s trade mission comes at a critical time as opportunities for new nuclear projects are growing across Northern Europe. The OCNI delegation connected Canadian suppliers directly with Swedish and Norwegian industry leaders, utilities, government officials, and research organizations.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br>The mission began with a briefing at the <strong>Canadian Embassy<\/strong> followed by site visits to leading Swedish nuclear organizations, including <strong>Studsvik<\/strong>, <strong>Cyclife Sweden<\/strong>, and <strong>AB SVAFO<\/strong>. The following day OCNI and its member companies, including <strong>Aecon<\/strong>,<strong> BWXT Canada<\/strong>, <strong>L3 Harris<\/strong>, <strong>Laurentis Energy Partners<\/strong>, and <strong>WSP Canada<\/strong>,\u00a0 participated in the <strong>Nordic Baltic Nuclear Investment Summit<\/strong> in Stockholm, where leaders from across Northern Europe gathered to discuss strategies to <strong>triple nuclear energy in Sweden<\/strong> and support new projects emerging in <strong>Poland, Estonia, and Latvia<\/strong>.\u00a0<br>\u00a0<br>The delegation ended the trade mission in Oslo with an embassy briefing and a series of technical site visits to key Norwegian research organizations, including the <strong>Institute for Energy Technology (Halden)<\/strong>, the <strong>Norwegian Nuclear Research Centre<\/strong>, and the <strong>DECOM Cluster<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This mission comes at a pivotal time, as Sweden\u2019s recently passed <strong>Nuclear Energy Act<\/strong> introduces <strong>over 200 billion kroner (73 million CAD)<\/strong> in funding, securities, and investment guarantees to expand the country\u2019s nuclear capacity. With this new momentum across the region, OCNI\u2019s members are well-positioned to contribute proven technologies, services, and expertise to help power a clean energy future.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOCNI\u2019s trade missions are about more than just business\u2014they\u2019re about building enduring relationships that strengthen Canada\u2019s role in the global nuclear community,\u201d said <strong>Ivette Vera Perez<\/strong>, President and CEO of OCNI. \u201cWe\u2019re proud to see our members showcasing their innovation and leadership on the international stage.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">OCNI\u2019s international trade missions are designed to <strong>open new markets, foster partnerships, and promote Canada\u2019s world-class nuclear expertise<\/strong> abroad.
