Kiki Lauwers, CEO of Thorizon, is a guest in the first episode of Groundbreakers. We learn about the challenges and complex journey of developing small modular nuclear reactors (also known as SMRs) and how she became CEO of Thorizon. The “hamster wheel” is also discussed, along with the question of what the Netherlands can learn from France when it comes to industrial policy, and where the Netherlands truly excels.
