About newcleo

Newcleo PLC is a nuclear technology company developing Generation-IV lead-cooled fast reactors, a class of small modular reactor that uses liquid lead as a coolant. The company's reactor designs are intended to operate using mixed-oxide (MOX) fuel derived by recycled nuclear materials, supporting a closed-fuel-cycle approach. It is developing a 200 MWe LFR and advancing MOX fuel manufacturing technology for use in its reactors and potentially other nuclear reactor platforms. It generates revenue through the manufacturing and installation of engineering facilities and equipment relating to the development of safe and clean energy, which includes manufacturing of storage facilities for nuclear waste, decommissioning plants, and activities of steelwork nature.

DateStageInvestorsRaisedValuationRev. MultipleDeal Summary
Feb-26Series BCERN; Azimut Investments; Kairos Partners; Orion; Indaco Venture Partners; Danieli & C. Officine; Walter Tosto; Cementir Holding$89M-Newcleo is a European nuclear technology company founded in 2021, headquartered in Paris with operations in Italy, the UK, Belgium, and Slovakia, employing around 1,000 people. It develops advanced small modular reactors (SMRs), specifically lead-cooled fast reactors that use recycled nuclear waste as fuel to generate clean electricity, positioning itself as a safer and more efficient alternative to traditional water- or sodium-cooled designs. The technology aims to support decarbonization for energy-intensive industries like steel, cement, and engineering by providing low-carbon power solutions. In early 2026 (reported around February-March), Newcleo closed a funding round of €75 million (approximately $85-88 million USD), matching the specified investors: new participants Danieli & C., Cementir Holding, Orion Valves (via Ecoline), and others like NextChem, alongside existing backers Azimut Investments, CERN pension fund, Indaco Venture Partners, Kairos Partners, and Walter Tosto. This round brought total funding since 2021 to over €645 million (~$755-760 million), with more than $124 million raised in 2025 alone. Proceeds will fund expanded R&D infrastructure in Europe, including the PRECURSOR non-nuclear reactor and OTHELLO 2 MW system at ENEA’s Brasimone Research Center, while accelerating U.S. market entry amid favorable policy shifts. Newcleo has made tangible progress in licensing, siting, and commercial partnerships across France, Italy, Slovakia, and the U.S., with strategic collaborations such as a $2 billion partnership with Oklo for U.S. fuel production and reprocessing infrastructure, and Italian deals with Fincantieri for nuclear-powered vessels, Saipem for floating plants, and Danieli for green steel. CEO Stefano Buono emphasized investor appeal in the company's vertical integration, regulatory advancements, and ability to deliver affordable nuclear energy. The investor mix of industrial firms and financial backers signals growing interest in SMRs amid global nuclear revival, differentiating Newcleo through waste-fueled tech and cross-border expansion strategies.
Sep-24Series AIngerop; Club degli Investitori; Walter Tosto; Inarcassa$150M-Newcleo is a European developer of advanced nuclear technologies, founded in September 2021 and based in Paris, France. The company specializes in lead-cooled fast reactor technology paired with fuel derived from recycled nuclear waste, positioning its approach as a solution for reducing costs and minimizing risks in nuclear waste management. It operates across France, the UK, Italy, Switzerland, Slovakia, and Belgium with approximately 950–1,000 employees across multiple locations. In September 2024, Newcleo closed a Series A funding round (described as Series A - II in some sources), raising €48 million as part of its broader effort to close a €1 billion funding target announced 18 months prior. This round brought total funding to approximately €535 million by September 2024, with additional raises in late 2024 and early 2026 pushing total capital raised to over €645 million by February 2026. The company is developing lead-cooled fast reactor technology and has established partnerships with major industrial firms including Fincantieri for nuclear-powered ships, Saipem for floating nuclear power plants, MAIRE for green chemicals production, and Danieli for green steel manufacturing. Revenue grew from €9 million in 2023 to €26 million in the first half of 2024, with the group reporting EUR 50 million in turnover during 2024, primarily generated through acquired companies and service contracts rather than reactor sales, as commercial reactor deployment remains years away.
May-24Undisclosed stage-$94M-Newcleo is a European nuclear technology developer founded in September 2021, headquartered in Paris, that designs and builds next-generation lead-cooled fast reactors (LFRs) fueled with MOX, powered by recycled nuclear waste. The company operates as a small modular reactor (SMR) developer positioning itself in the advanced nuclear energy sector amid renewed policy support for nuclear power in the United States and Europe. Newcleo has raised substantial capital from both venture and industrial investors, including venture capital firms Kairos and Indaco Ventures, asset manager Azimut Investments, the CERN pension fund, and industrial partners such as Danieli & C (steel manufacturing), Cementir Holding (cement), Orion Valves, NextChem (energy engineering), and Walter Tosto. The company has grown to over 1,000 employees across multiple locations in France, Italy, the UK, Switzerland, Belgium, and Slovakia, with three manufacturing facilities and partnerships exceeding 90. Newcleo's funding trajectory shows significant capital deployment: the company has raised more than €645 million ($645 million equivalent) since its 2021 launch, with €75 million ($88 million) secured in recent months and $124 million raised across 2025 alone, reflecting strong investor confidence in its technology and market positioning within the growing advanced nuclear sector.
Jun-22Undisclosed stageMACAN; Banca Patrimoni Sella & C.$315M-Fin Posillipo Spa subscribed a capital increase in Newcleo on 20 June 2022, in proportion to its existing holding of 9.40 percent. The subscription formed part of an overall equity raise of EUR 300 million by the reactor developer, and it brought the cumulative amount invested by the Naples holding company to EUR 41.9 million. Fin Posillipo's accounts for 2022 describe Newcleo as a start-up created in 2021 with offices in the United Kingdom and Italy, aiming to develop fourth-generation nuclear reactors that reuse nuclear waste to produce energy. The holding kept its minority position through the round rather than diluting. Newcleo later signed a cooperation agreement with the Enel group in March 2023, obtained financing from the French government in May 2023 and launched a further equity raise of EUR 1 billion in March 2023. Fin Posillipo, controlled by the Petrone family, treats the position as part of its venture and sector-diversification investments.
Aug-21Undisclosed stageClub degli Investitori; Exor Ventures; LIFTT; MACAN$118M-Newcleo, a clean and safe nuclear technology company headquartered in London, UK, was incorporated on August 31, 2021, with the closing of a USD 118 million founding capital round led by visionary individuals and institutional investors including Exor Seeds (New York-based), LIFTT, and Club degli Investitori (both Turin-based). The company simultaneously acquired Hydromine Nuclear Energy S.à r.l. (HNE), leveraging an existing significant patent portfolio to develop safe, clean, inexpensive nuclear energy solutions aimed at achieving a carbon-neutral world. Founded by Stefano Buono, who previously created Advanced Accelerator Applications in nuclear medicine, Newcleo seeks to disrupt the energy sector through scalable industrial applications of innovative nuclear technologies combined with existing ones. The funding supports Newcleo's strategy of pursuing global M&A transactions, partnerships with energy sector players, institutions, academia, and investors to rapidly bring projects to market and establish a new industrial standard. Subsequent funding includes a $314.7 million round on July 19, 2022, and additional rounds in 2024 totaling around $244.4 million, bringing total funding to over $559 million across three rounds as of recent data, with operations expanding to Paris, France, Italy, the UK, Belgium, and Slovakia, employing 501-1000 people focused on lead-cooled fast reactors powered by nuclear waste for small modular reactors (SMRs).
