The Philippines will host the 2nd Philippine International Nuclear Supply Chain Forum (PINSCF) on October 2–3, 2025 at the Grand Hyatt Manila in Taguig City.
The event comes as the government pursues nuclear energy to secure a stable power supply and meet climate commitments. Under the Philippine Energy Plan 2023–2050, the country aims to add 4,800 megawatts of nuclear capacity by 2040, with plans to integrate nuclear power into the energy mix by 2032.
The first edition of the forum in 2024 drew government, industry, academic, and diplomatic participants and introduced advanced technologies and best practices in nuclear construction, operations, and regulation.
This year, delegations from Argentina, China, Finland, France, Hungary, Japan, Russia, the United Arab Emirates, and the United States will participate, alongside Philippine stakeholders, regulators, and suppliers. The program will feature plenary sessions, technical presentations, and networking activities.
Energy Secretary Sharon S. Garin highlighted the importance of continuing dialogue with international partners. “Last year’s forum laid the groundwork for meaningful engagement between the Philippines and the international nuclear community. This year’s edition will advance those conversations into concrete partnerships and strategies to strengthen nuclear supply chains,” she said.
She also noted that hosting global experts shows the country’s determination to pursue nuclear energy responsibly. “By convening global leaders in the nuclear supply chain, the Philippines is signaling its readiness to engage at the highest level and ensure that its path to nuclear energy development is guided by world-class expertise and safe, sustainable practices,” Garin added.
