This year's World Nuclear Exhibition in Paris once again confirmed that nuclear energy is experiencing extraordinary growth.
For us, as representatives of CHEMCOMEX, MICo, and CE ENGINEERING, this year's participation was all the more significant because the Czech national stand was one of the most visible at the entire exhibition. The joint exhibition for 21 companies under the auspices of the Ministry of Industry and Trade provided a professional and highly representative environment in which the Czech nuclear sector presented itself as a confident partner capable of delivering comprehensive solutions across the entire supply chain.
The Czech Republic's strong position at the center of world events
Our national stand was one of the largest at the fair, attracting delegations from Europe, North America, and Asia. The official opening of the Czech exhibition was ceremoniously performed by H.E. Mr. Jaroslav Kurfürst, Ambassador of the Czech Republic to France, Ms. Sylvia Bermann on behalf of WNE, and Mr. Tomáš Ehler, Director General of the Domestic Nuclear Section of the Ministry of Industry and Trade.
Over the course of three days, our stand was visited by dozens of top company representatives, members of the European Parliament led by Alexandr Vondra, and representatives of a number of state institutions. The intensity of the discussions was palpable, covering topics ranging from operational safety to engineering services, the modernization of existing nuclear power plants, and, of course, the construction of new nuclear power plants, including SMRs.
Participation of our companies: specific negotiations, new contacts, real opportunities
From the perspective of a sales director, I can say that this year's WNE was not just about presentation. Representatives of all three of our exhibitors (CHEMCOMEX, MICo, and CE ENGINEERING) held a series of targeted meetings, including several follow-up discussions, which took place directly at the round tables of the Czech exhibition.
From an international business perspective, it was clear that face-to-face meetings are still irreplaceable – they build trust, speed up decision-making, and open doors to partnerships that digital communication alone would not be enough to achieve.
Summary from the perspective of the sales director
WNE 2025 was not only a successful trade fair for our group, but above all a strategically important moment. I perceive that global demand for stable, reliable, and high-quality suppliers is growing, and the Czech Republic, including our companies, is able to meet this demand.
On 13 June 2025, a professional presentation of Czech companies from the energy sector took place at the Czech Embassy in Budapest. The event focused on opportunities within the planned construction of combined cycle power plants in Mátra and Tisza and on the possibilities for Czech suppliers to participate in these projects.
On Wednesday, October 15, 2025, MICo s.r.o. actively participated in a unique all-day meeting called perFEKT AtomDay, organized by the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Communication Technologies at Brno University of Technology. This event, dedicated to current topics in the field of nuclear energy, attracted hundreds of students and experts who explored the world of innovation and practical experience in this promising field.
