Big Tech, Chips & SMRs: A New Ecosystem of Project Opportunity

The demand for robust infrastructure to support rapidly growing data needs is reshaping industries and creating new opportunities. This panel will explore several key factors driving this change and what’s needed from the project cargo community. The panel will cover new semiconductor plants, exponentially larger data centers and the emerging market for small nuclear reactors as an efficient power source. Representatives from EPC, big tech, the semiconductor sector, SMR manufacturing and project forwarding will provide insights on how these interconnected sectors are shaping the future of project cargo. It’s not business as usual!
