The EU Directorate-General for Energy organised the Forum to serve as a platform for convening the EU industries, private fusion promoters,Fusion for Energy’s andITER Organizationrepresentatives to explore the upcoming business opportunities in this dynamic sector.

With recent technological breakthroughs and increased private investments the fusion industry is gaining momentum that can transit from research projects to industrial deployment and construction of future fusion power plants. Likewise, as investments in fusion are accelerating, there are more and more business opportunities for the EU industry.

It was also an opportunity forSIMICto meet with theEuropean Fusion Association‘s members to discuss about the future plans, involving other members and discussing with the stakeholders, in view of unifying the European industry around a common vision, to make fusion energy a reality in Europe.
