Nuclear firms and supply chain experts from Argentina, China, Finland, France, Hungary, Japan, Russia, the United Arab Emirates and the United States are set to participate in the Philippine International Nuclear Supply Chain Forum (PINSCF) 2025 from Oct. 2 to 3, 2025. The event will be held at the Grand Hyatt Manila in Bonifacio Global City.
The participating countries are recognized for their extensive experience in nuclear technology, infrastructure and regulation.
Energy Secretary Sharon Garin said the forum signals the Philippines’ readiness to engage with global leaders and ensure its nuclear energy development is guided by “world-class expertise and safe, sustainable practices.”
The PINSCF 2025 builds on the success of its inaugural forum in 2024, which provided a foundation for the Philippines as it prepares to build its first nuclear power plant by 2032.
With the theme “Building a Strategic, Adaptive, Future-Ready and Empowered Philippine Nuclear Supply Chain for Sustainable Industrial Growth,” the 2025 forum aims to deepen international collaboration on developing resilient supply chains, ensuring nuclear safety, and supporting the Philippines’ roadmap to integrate nuclear power into its energy mix.
“Last year’s forum laid the groundwork for meaningful engagement between the Philippines and the international nuclear community. This year’s edition will advance those conversations into concrete partnerships and strategies to strengthen nuclear supply chains,” Garin said.
The Philippines aims to have 4,800 megawatts of nuclear power in its energy mix by 2040 under the Philippine Energy Plan (PEP) 2023-2050.
The push for nuclear power is driven by the country’s need for stable electricity, as well as its carbon reduction initiatives and climate commitments.
The PINSCF 2025 will feature plenary sessions, technical presentations and networking opportunities.
The Department of Energy said the event underscores the Philippines’ commitment to safe, strategic, and sustainable nuclear energy development as a key part of its strategy to diversify its energy mix, strengthen energy security and drive economic growth.
