Recent Engagements
Reuters: Fusion Energy Summit
AMPERA joined hundreds of fusion developers, investors, policymakers, utilities, industrial energy users and researchers at Reuters Events: Fusion Energy 2026 in Boston to help advance the industry conversation around commercializing fusion technology.Representing AMPERA, Dr. Zain Karriem participated in the panel, “From Breakthrough to Build Out: Turning Lab Innovation into Deployable Fusion Plants.” He contributed perspectives on the engineering, validation and manufacturing work needed to translate scientific progress into reliable, scalable power plants for industrial use.The discussion explored how disciplined component testing and qualification programs can demonstrate technology readiness and commercial viability, as well as how integrated plant design can balance performance, maintainability and manufacturability.At the AMPERA booth, attendees explored the company’s PowerNOW. NuclearNEXT™. strategy and its approach to meeting growing energy demand. Conversations highlighted how AMPERA’s Integrated Energy Architecture™ connects waste-heat recovery and conventionally fueled power generation with a pathway toward future advanced nuclear energy.Participants walked away with a practical takeaway: commercializing advanced energy requires more than a scientific breakthrough. It also demands disciplined engineering, component testing, qualification programs, integrated plant design and scalable manufacturing. AMPERA’s participation helped focus the discussion on the capabilities required to move promising technologies toward real-world deployment.As part of his visit to the Boston area, Dr. Karriem was also invited to tour Commonwealth Fusion Systems’ SPARC facility in Devens, Massachusetts, where he had the opportunity to see firsthand the technologies being developed for the SPARC fusion machine. The visit provided additional insight into the engineering and technology development efforts underway to advance fusion toward commercial deployment.
SelectFlorida Gateways Council
AMPERA Founder and CEO Brian Matthews attended SelectFlorida’s quarterly Gateways Advisory Council meeting on Sept. 29 in Jupiter, Florida, to discuss how AMPERA's technology can benefit the maritime industry both at the port and at sea.SelectFlorida, a partnership of businesses, government leaders, and economic development partners, is focused on helping improve the Florida economy, which is the fourth largest economy in the United States and 14th largest in the world.The organization’s Gateways Advisory Council brings together leaders from Florida's airports, seaports, spaceports, and logistics networks to guide the state's transportation and global trade infrastructure.Among those in attendance were Florida Secretary of Commerce J. Alex Kelly and Gateways Advisory Council Chairman Nick Primrose. AMPERA’s modular energy platform can support the maritime sector’s energy needs today with conventional fuels while creating a pathway toward future advanced nuclear integration. Whether supporting infrastructure needs in the state or addressing those of organizations that do work with Florida companies, AMPERA is well-positioned to bring safe, reliable energy solutions.
Association of Ship Brokers & Agents Annual Cargo Conference
The maritime industry is actively shifting toward cleaner energy to meet strict global emission rules.As part of its Cargo Conference on Sept. 23-24 in Miami, the Association of Ship Brokers and Agents (USBA) held a panel session to focus on alternate fuel sources including scalable low-carbon options including nuclear.AMPERA Founder and CEO Brian Matthews joined other executives to discuss current market dynamics, technology advances and future opportunities.Matthews highlighted how AMPERA’s compact modular energy systems can support near-term shore power demands, as well as floating platform systems and ultimately propulsion.The message supported the broader conversation about alternate fuels and how they can help address some of the power and sustainability challenges that the maritime industry is facing.ASBA advances and fosters the ideals and standards of professional conduct and practices and is a medium through which members with common interests can communicate.The organization focuses on bringing together ship brokers, agents and affiliates across the U.S. and Canada for more than 90 years.
