OCNI Supply Chain Forum – Mobilizing Canada’s Nuclear Supply Chain & Incoming SK/NB Delegation

April 30, 2026 | 1:00 PM – 5:00 PM | Ottawa 

As the Canadian Nuclear Association Conference concludes, OCNI will host a focused, half-day working session designed to translate CNA discussions into practical supply chain action. 

Throughout CNA, we will hear strong signals around SMR deployment timelines, procurement pathways, advanced manufacturing adoption, Indigenous participation, regulatory readiness, and federal support mechanisms. This session will synthesize those signals and examine what they mean for Canadian suppliers in the near term. 

The program will include: 

• A rapid CNA recap highlighting key procurement and policy signals 

• Perspectives from industry and government on Canada’s evolving nuclear landscape 

• Updates on NRCan-supported eSMR initiatives advancing supply chain readiness 

• A curated B2B engagement session connecting suppliers with utilities, developers, EPCs, and peer firms 

• Closing reflections on supply chain alignment and next steps 

Building on the supplier activation model piloted during our December AGM mission, this session will emphasize practical alignment, commercial traction, and interprovincial collaboration. 

The B2B component will be carefully curated to ensure meaningful interactions and is not intended to operate as a general networking reception. While registration will be open to a broad audience, structured B2B meetings will be arranged with selected companies and representatives based on capabilities and areas of interest. Informal side conversations are, of course, always welcome throughout the session. 

Participants who express interest in the B2B component will receive a follow-up request for additional company information and capability details to support the meeting coordination process. 

Participation will be limited to ensure meaningful engagement.
