OVERVIEW
New Nuclear Capital is the annual investment forum at the intersection of finance and advanced nuclear. This year, USNIC is collaborating with J.P. Morgan to bring NNC 2026 to the firm’s new headquarters in Midtown Manhattan on November 10, 2026—placing the nuclear investment conversation in the heart of the global financial community.
NNC 2026 brings investors and lenders together with utilities, data-center leaders, industrial offtakers, reactor developers, technology companies, EPCs, and government leaders to understand why nuclear is attracting capital now, where the most compelling investment opportunities are emerging, and who investors need to know.
Through focused keynotes, candid discussions, and targeted networking, NNC 2026 will explore the market demand, financing structures, risks, policy drivers, and partnerships shaping the next generation of nuclear investment. With J.P. Morgan as a partner and its new Manhattan headquarters as the setting, NNC 2026 offers a unique opportunity to engage the people shaping the future of nuclear finance.
