Partnership combines cutting-edge microreactors with a global leader in AI server infrastructure to address surging energy demand from artificial intelligence.
New York, N.Y., May 06, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — NANO Nuclear Energy Inc. (NASDAQ: NNE) (“NANO Nuclear” or “the Company”), a leading advanced nuclear micro modular reactor (MMR) and technology company focused on developing clean energy solutions, today announced it has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Super Micro Computer, Inc. (“Supermicro”), a global leader in high-performance, high-efficiency server and AI infrastructure solutions.
This strategic collaboration is focused on exploring the integration of NANO Nuclear’s advanced microreactor systems with Supermicro’s industry-leading AI server and data center platforms, with the goal of delivering clean, reliable, and scalable nuclear-powered solutions for the rapidly expanding artificial intelligence economy.
The explosive growth of artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and high-performance computing is creating an unprecedented surge in global electricity demand, particularly from data centers that require constant, high-density, and reliable power.
Through this MOU, NANO Nuclear and Supermicro will explore opportunities to:
- Deploy NANO Nuclear’s microreactors to provide dedicated, on-site nuclear power for data centers.
- Integrate Supermicro’s AI server racks, cooling systems, and infrastructure with nuclear-powered energy solutions.
- Develop joint go-to-market strategies for hyperscale, enterprise, and edge data center customers.
- Enable a new class of self-powered, grid-independent AI infrastructure.
The collaboration reflects a shared vision to solve one of the most urgent challenges facing the AI industry: how to sustainably power exponential compute growth.

“This collaboration with Supermicro represents a powerful convergence of two transformative technologies: advanced nuclear energy and artificial intelligence infrastructure,” said Jay Yu, Chairman and President of NANO Nuclear. “The AI revolution is fundamentally an energy challenge, and we believe nuclear power is the only scalable solution capable of meeting that demand. By working alongside one of the world’s leading providers of AI server technology, we are positioning NANO Nuclear at the forefront of a new paradigm, where data centers are not constrained by the grid, but powered by dedicated, on-site nuclear energy systems.”
Supermicro is one of the world’s leading providers of end-to-end green computing solutions, delivering advanced server, storage, and networking systems for data centers, cloud providers, and enterprise customers globally.
By partnering with Supermicro, NANO Nuclear gains direct alignment with a company at the forefront of the AI infrastructure buildout, providing:
- Access to global data center customers and hyperscale operators.
- Integration pathways with state-of-the-art AI hardware ecosystems.
- A channel into one of the fastest-growing sectors of the global economy.
At the same time, Supermicro gains access to NANO Nuclear’s next-generation nuclear power systems, enabling it to offer customers a complete, vertically integrated solution: compute + power.
This MOU represents a major step forward in NANO Nuclear’s strategy to become a leading energy provider for the AI and data center sector, which is rapidly emerging as one of the largest future consumers of electricity globally.
As grid constraints intensify and power availability becomes a limiting factor for AI deployment, NANO Nuclear’s microreactors offer a compelling solution:
- 24/7 baseload power independent of the grid.
- Carbon-free energy aligned with ESG mandates.
- Scalable deployment for data center campuses.
- Rapid installation and modular expansion.
This positions NANO Nuclear not just as a reactor developer, but as a critical enabler of the global AI economy.
“This is exactly where the future is heading compute and power becoming a unified solution,” said James Walker, Chief Executive Officer of NANO Nuclear. “By aligning with Supermicro, NANO Nuclear is stepping directly into the center of one of the fastest growing and most capital-intensive markets in the world. This partnership opens the door to hyperscale opportunities that could redefine how data centers are built and powered.”
The MOU outlines a framework under which both companies will mutually introduce sales opportunities, collaborate on joint deployments, and explore integrated solutions combining:
- NANO Nuclear’s microreactors including the KRONOS MMR™ Energy System.
- Supermicro’s server racks and AI systems.
- Cooling, maintenance, and lifecycle services.
Together, the companies aim to create a next-generation infrastructure model where computing power and energy supply are developed in tandem.
Looking Ahead
While the MOU is non-binding, it establishes a foundation for future definitive agreements and project-specific collaborations, positioning both companies to capitalize on the rapidly evolving intersection of energy and artificial intelligence.
