LATERAL is a UK-based naval architecture and engineering consultancy with a global footprint, dedicated to advancing innovation within the superyacht industry.
Innovation is central to everything they do. Over the past seven years, their research, development, and innovation programs have been focused on technologies that support the energy transition and enable a pathway to net zero. LATERAL’s work spans the full spectrum of solutions, from practical near-term applications to bold, long-term concepts designed to reshape the future of the sector.
LATERAL have long recognised that the journey to net zero will not be defined by a single technology, but by a diverse portfolio of solutions working together. Nuclear has consistently featured in their considerations, and while regulatory and societal barriers have historically slowed progress, they now see encouraging momentum. Regulatory frameworks are beginning to adapt, and there is a growing recognition of the role nuclear could play in a sustainable energy future. For this reason, they believe the time is right to integrate nuclear technologies more explicitly into their innovation agenda.
LATERAL’s next priority is to engage with forward-looking partners and stakeholders who share this ambition. They view NEMO as a valuable platform to foster collaboration, exchange knowledge, and accelerate progress towards a cleaner, more sustainable future.
