AMRC to co-produce the inaugural National Nuclear Manufacturing Conference 2025

12 June 2025

The University of Sheffield Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre (AMRC) has teamed up with Manufacturing Technology Centre (MTC) and National Manufacturing Institute Scotland (NMIS) to launch the National Nuclear Manufacturing Conference, exploring opportunities in the UK’s civil nuclear supply chain.

It will be hosted by MTC at its Coventry facility on June 30 and July 1 and follows the UK Government’s spending review where announcements on Sizewell C power station and the Small Modular Reactor (SMR) competition were announced.  

The conference will delve into how these government funding decisions will stimulate economic growth, create high-skilled jobs and provide the supply chain with a defined pipeline of opportunity to enhance prosperity across the UK.  

Attendees will hear from government, industry leaders and explore opportunities to revitalise the nuclear energy supply chain. 

A full day event programme on Tuesday, July 1, based on the theme of ‘Unlocking Prosperity Through Technology’, will feature a ministerial keynote and speakers from Great British Nuclear, ONR, Rolls-Royce SMR, GE-Hitachi, Holtec and more. 

Andrew Bowfield, senior business development manager – civil nuclear at MTC, said: “Nuclear energy offers a proven solution to align energy security with our ambitious net zero goals. By increasing generation to 24 GW by 2050, the government is committing to the biggest expansion of nuclear power for 70 years and is creating immense opportunity for the UK supply chain.

"We are hosting the National Nuclear Manufacturing Conference as a platform for industry to share insight and shape the future direction of the sector.” 

The National Nuclear Manufacturing Conference 2025 is free to attend and open to those interested in the business opportunities that the renewed investment in the UK’s nuclear sector will provide.
