Member Testimonials

“Joining the OCNI was an important strategic decision OARO made in 2021. We knew that we offered innovation solutions that would improve performance and mitigate risks within the nuclear industry, and we also had the nuclear expertise to validate our performance and business benefits assumptions. What OARO needed was an organization like the OCNI who provided a community of like-minded nuclear suppliers and nuclear operators eager to connect with one another and understand how they can support the growing nuclear industry in Canada. OCNI opened all these doors for us.

In the initial few months of joining the OCNI we have participated in several high value webinars with senior leaders in the nuclear and SMR industries. The OCNI has brokered several meetings with nuclear stakeholders across Canada and abroad ensuring that our organization had maximum exposure to the industry. The connections, education and support received has exceeded our expectations, and has accelerated our efforts to connect and become an official supplier to the nuclear and SMR Industries.”
