Wedoany.com Report-Oct. 19, JPMorganChase, a U.S.-based financial services firm, has unveiled a $1.5 trillion Security and Resiliency Initiative, including up to $10 billion in direct investments over the next decade. Announced on October 15, 2025, the 10-year plan aims to support industries vital to economic stability and growth, focusing on critical minerals, advanced manufacturing, and frontier technologies, including nuclear energy.

The initiative expands the firm’s existing efforts to finance $1 trillion in key sectors, with direct equity and venture capital investments to foster innovation and strategic manufacturing, primarily in the United States. It targets four main areas: Supply Chain and Advanced Manufacturing, Defense and Aerospace, Energy Independence and Resilience, and Frontier and Strategic Technologies. These encompass 27 sub-areas, such as critical minerals, robotics, defense technology, battery storage, and quantum computing, which will be refined over time.

Nuclear energy, specifically next-generation nuclear technology, is a key focus under the Energy Independence and Resilience theme. The company emphasized: “Diversified sources of energy production and the modernisation and resiliency of the grid will be imperative to the national interest and advancing artificial intelligence.” Other sub-areas in this category include grid resilience, distributed energy, battery storage, and solar power.

Jamie Dimon, Chairman and CEO of JPMorganChase, stated: “It has become painfully clear that the United States has allowed itself to become too reliant on unreliable sources of critical minerals, products and manufacturing - all of which are essential for our national security. Our security is predicated on the strength and resiliency of America's economy. America needs more speed and investment.”

The initiative aims to ensure reliable access to essential resources, advance energy systems to meet growing demand, and support technologies like semiconductors and data centers. Dimon added: “As the bank intensifies its focus on these essential industries, it will also continue to work closely with its community and business partners to champion these sectors, foster talent and support skills training to ensure companies can fill critical jobs.”

JPMorganChase will advocate for policies to accelerate these efforts, including streamlined regulations, research and development support, and efficient procurement processes. With global operations, the firm manages $4.6 trillion in assets and $357 billion in stockholders’ equity as of June 30, 2025, serving clients under the JP Morgan and Chase brands. The initiative positions JPMorganChase to drive innovation and resilience across critical industries, contributing to sustainable economic growth.
