In this hot seat interview ahead of the Türkiye Nuclear Business Platform (TNBP) 2026 in Ankara, Zaf Coelho sits down with Seyfi Can Kandemir, a nuclear project finance partner at Hunton Andrews Kurth, to unpack how large-scale nuclear projects actually get financed. Drawing on experience advising on landmark deals such as Romania, the discussion covers the role of export credit agencies and multilateral lenders, the financing structures that make nuclear bankable, and the lessons Türkiye can draw from other markets as it moves beyond Akkuyu toward Sinop, Thrace, and future SMR deployments. It's a candid look at the financing challenges and opportunities shaping Türkiye's nuclear growth story — and a preview of the conversations to come at TNBP 2026, 26–27 August in Ankara.
