Ocean Tomo, a part of J.S. Held, presents our 2024 Nuclear Energy Industry Report, which takes a comprehensive look at current industry trends and deal activity in the nuclear energy space. As a financial advisor with a focus on technology and intellectual property (IP), Ocean Tomo, along with the nuclear and energy transition experts at J.S. Held, provide meaningful insight, benefiting clients from our experience across numerous nuclear energy-related engagements
In addition to substantial scientific and technical advances, several initiatives are driving a renewed interest in the nuclear energy space which has, in recent decades, faltered due to extreme costs and disinterest in the public eye. In fact, a new survey by Pew Research Center in May 2024 suggests 56% of Americans are in favor of more nuclear power. This significant comeback signals numerous opportunities and challenges involving intellectual property (IP) management, licensing, and litigation.
