Birth of a truly global fusion community

The global fusion landscape is undergoing a profound mutation. In the ambition of harnessing "the energy of the Sun and stars," public projects, government or university-funded, are not alone anymore.

Pursuing the same goal and encountering some of the same challenges, public ventures like ITER and private startups have a lot to share.

This is precisely what the "Inaugural Private Sector Workshop," which opened at ITER Headquarters on Monday 27 May, intends to establish. For three days, fusion startups, managers and scientists, suppliers, public research institutes, Domestic Agencies and ITER Organization representatives will meet, compare notes, and explore possible paths to collaboration.

"Our project is useful to all of you," said ITER Director-General Pietro Barabaschi in his opening address. The moment could be historic—the birth of a truly global fusion community, without distinction of size or status and united in a common ambition.
