On June 7 2018, the Global Nuclear Energy Investment Summit (GNIS) was held in London's Guildhall. The Guildhall is located in the historic and financial district of central London, England. It is the ceremonial and administrative center of the City of London. It was built in 1411 for the British government to receive foreign heads of state, host the Queen's banquet and other significant events. The summit was jointly organized by Ocean Nuclear, the Financial Times, and received strong support from WNA.
Energy is a core element in the development of the global economy. The current development of nuclear energy is welcoming unprecedented historical opportunities. With the theme of "Global nuclear power export, a new era of capital-assisted energy," the summit will explore new challenges and new opportunities for new nuclear power in the global context of the new energy era. Discuss the new starting point for the development of the nuclear power industry and explore opportunities for investment and financing in the field of nuclear power technology. Help achieve global emissions reductions and reach the goal of sustainable human development for all. The summit organized a multi-theme roundtable forum, including nuclear cost competitiveness; responding to post-Brexit technology and supply chain challenges; multi-channel capital boosting new nuclear power development; and UK “mini-core”/small modular reactors (SMRs) Potential and prospects. The number of participants was more than 300, and it is understood that there are few such conferences of this scale in London.
The Chinese Ambassador to the British Embassy Jin Xu made a speech and opened the summit. The GNIS was chaired by the famous host Ben Bland. The spokespersons and guests included representatives from various nuclear energy organizations and leaders of the nuclear energy industry, prominent experts and scholars in academic circles, political and economic circles and well-known financial companies, authoritative media organizations, and other relevant fields. Prof. Lin Boqiang, Vice President of the Chinese Society of Energy; Professor Zheng Xinye, Associate Dean of School of Economics, Renmin University of China; Humphrey Cadoux-Hudson, Director of Nuclear Energy Development, EDF; Robert Davies, Chief Operating Officer of CGNPC UK; Angus McCrone, Editor-in-Chief, New Energy Finance Department, Bloomberg , King Lee, Program Director of the Harmony Program of the World Nuclear Energy Association, Stephen Pollock (Victory of Hanks), the EU House of Lords' Energy Environment Subcommittee, Tom Greatrex, CEO of the Nuclear Industry Association, Ian Scott, Chairman of Moltex Energy and Chief Technology Officer, Ocean Nuclear’s Dr. Yang Hanxin, and senior representatives of Rolls-Royce (Rolls-Royce), Dalmore Capital, Terrestrial Energy, Energy Research Institute of University College London, Barakah One Company, MUFG Bank, Pillsbury Office attended the roundtable forum or attended the same conference held in Guildhall.
Mr. Qiu Zhen, chairman of Ocean Nuclear said that he hoped the summit would promote the cooperation of the nuclear energy industry and the development of the industry. Ocean Nuclear welcomes more insightful and like-minded partners to work with them to promote the development of the global energy industry. Nuclear power is the ultra-long line, extremely low-return, and extremely safe-return capital investment direction that very few companies can maintain. According to WNA's data, there are only 186 companies currently adhering to the world's nuclear energy sector. There is no company in the nuclear energy field in the world that has made huge profits, or has won world-renowned commercial interests. They insist on the zero-emission energy output of mankind. In the future, by 2050, we will complete the reduction of carbon emissions from the International Treaty of Copenhagen. With the upgrading of the nuclear energy industry technology, safer and more efficient replacement, the company believes that nuclear energy will be an inevitable choice. And China's economic growth will occupy more seats in the top 100 global energy companies.
Ocean Nuclear, the organizer of this event, is WNA's only Chinese private enterprise member, focusing on industrial upgrading and innovation in the energy industry. The core business is equity investment and industry financing for the international nuclear energy industry. The Global Nuclear Energy Investment Summit (GNIS) is the “International Energy Finance Brand Investment Summit” created by the various forces including the International Nuclear Energy United Nations International Organization, authoritative organizations, and responsible media. The summit focused on the nuclear industry's hot issues and investment development projects.
It is understood that on January 28 last year, Ocean Nuclear had hosted its first GNIS Nuclear Energy Investment Forum in Diaoyutai State Guesthouse in China. Guests and speakers included Mohan Munasinghe, Nobel Peace Prize winner and Wei Jianguo, former Vice Minister of the Ministry of Commerce of the People's Republic of China, Russia Atomic Energy Corporation and WNA representatives and other experts from a wide range of related countries from 28 countries around the world discussed the global nuclear energy industry's financial cooperation, nuclear energy export investment, innovation and development of new directions, new challenges and the background of the era of global energy industry upgrading and development. 
It is reported that GNIS will be held in Dubai, Sydney, Tokyo, Paris, New York, Kazakhstan and other countries around the world. The development of nuclear energy technology requires a large amount of capital investment. The development of nuclear energy industry in China and the world needs the help of social capital. The company hopes to establish an internationalized industrial finance platform by holding GNIS and establish a sound and continuous deep cooperation between nuclear power industry and private capital. Thus promoting the integration of industry and finance, and use financial strength to boost the global technological innovation of nuclear energy and the development of nuclear energy industrialization.
