Terra Innovatum Global N.V. (NASDAQ: NKLR) and Deep Fission, Inc. (NASDAQ: FISN) have announced, in near-simultaneous fashion, their participation in a series of institutional investor conferences, kicking off on October 1, 2026, at the ROTH Emerging Nuclear Technology Conference in New York City. Two companies, two distinct technologies, one shared goal: bringing compact nuclear power to market within the next few years.
Terra Innovatum is lined up for three events in quick succession. Following ROTH, management will appear at the Clear Street 2nd Annual Disruptive Technology Conference from November 18 to 20, and then at the B. Riley Convergence Conference on December 2. At each event, the team will present updates on licensing, manufacturing scale-up, and commercialization of the SOLO™ reactor — a 1 MWe micro-modular unit designed for data centers, remote communities, mining sites, and military applications. The SOLO design is already finalized. Production will rely on factory-built components assembled on-site. The reactor generates 4 megawatts of thermal energy and 1 megawatt of electricity, fitting within a roughly 10-cubic-meter concrete structure. Terra Innovatum raised $130 million through a SPAC transaction and currently holds $96 million in cash — enough, according to management, to fund operations through its first commercial deployment, targeted for late 2027 with commercial launch in 2028.
Deep Fission brings a fundamentally different approach to the table. The company is developing the Gravity™ Nuclear Reactor, a pressurized water SMR lowered into boreholes approximately one mile underground. The core idea is straightforward: use depth as an additional safety layer while simplifying surface-level construction. Alongside the October 1 ROTH event, Deep Fission will participate in the TD Cowen 11th Annual Nuclear Roundtable on October 8 in virtual format, and the Maxim Growth Summit from October 12 to 14 in New York, with one-on-one meetings scheduled for October 13.
The timing of these investor roadshows is no coincidence. The compact nuclear sector is drawing increasing attention from financial markets, as surging energy demand from AI-driven data centers pushes utilities and tech companies to seek reliable, low-carbon power sources. The ROTH Emerging Nuclear Technology Conference, now in its inaugural edition, brings together companies spanning the entire value chain — from uranium mining to fusion, including modular reactors and spent fuel management. Confirmed participants also include NANO Nuclear Energy, Terrestrial Energy, and TAE Technologies.
Terra Innovatum received a significant political signal in late September: the Italian Parliament gave final approval to a new regulatory framework for nuclear energy, and at the latest IAEA General Conference in Vienna, Italy presented the SOLO™ as a domestic microreactor solution. If development timelines hold, the upcoming months of investor meetings could translate into concrete agreements and binding orders — the ultimate benchmark of progress for both companies.
