On Thursday, November 28, the I3P incubator in Turin will host a meeting with Stefano Buono, a distinguished Italian physicist and CERN alumnus who co-founded newcleo in 2021. Newcleo is an innovative company in the nuclear energy sector, working on the design, construction, and operation of Generation IV Advanced Modular Reactors (AMRs), which are cooled with liquid lead and powered by reprocessed nuclear waste.

With over €535 million in private funding and a highly qualified workforce of more than 850 employees in France, the United Kingdom, Italy, Switzerland, and Slovakia, newcleo is not only developing and providing the expertise and services necessary for its ambitious mission but is also supporting the supply chains needed for Small Modular Reactors across Europe and beyond, contributing to the future of sustainable energy.

Until January 2018, Stefano Buono was CEO and board member of Advanced Accelerator Applications (AAA), an international radiopharmaceutical company he founded in 2002 and that was acquired by Novartis in 2018 for $3.9 billion. Since then, Buono has served as Chairman of Planet Holding LTD, a global leader in integrating smart solutions and social innovation practices into the design and development of affordable real estate projects. He is also Chairman of LIFTT, a private company founded by the LINKS Foundation, with the Politecnico di Torino and Compagnia di San Paolo as founding institutions.

The event at I3P, funded by the Piedmont Region with resources from the European Social Fund Plus (ESF+), is organized as part of a series of special events titled Scintille: a series of meetings with brilliant minds and prominent personalities from various fields, not only technology, who have made a significant mark in their area and beyond. This series is being promoted by the incubator on the occasion of its 25th anniversary, aiming to continue offering the innovation community new opportunities for gathering, discussion, and inspiration for the entrepreneurs of tomorrow.
