GE Vernova partners with Samsung to co-develop and market small modular nuclear reactors outside North America, potentially expanding Samsung's nuclear footprint.
“We also announced our strategic alliance with Samsung this month to advance our BWRX300 nuclear SMR outside North America.”
… pace. Visiting our offshore marshalling harbor in the UK this month continued to give me conviction. We'll be materially complete with Dogger Bank A and Vineyard this year. All that said, We aren't running the company to simply sell and fulfill on the business in front of us. We are investing in the long-term future. We signed our first technology collaboration funding agreement with a hyperscaler for scope inside the data center, as an example. We also announced our strategic alliance with Samsung this month to advance our BWRX300 nuclear SMR outside North America. Our investments in artificial intelligence are gaining real traction as we gain engineering productivity through AI to meet the unprecedented demand in gas turbine controls engineering requests associated with the surge in both new unit and upgrade order activity. We are using AI in our bidding activity today to ensure we get customer requirements right the first time and for design verification and validation. Physical automation, using machines, robots, and mechanical systems to perform physical tasks that would otherwise require human labor is gaining traction across areas such as material handling, inspection, …
