Description

Live audience polling on the critical priorities for fusion commercialization. Results displayed in real time with expert panel reaction, translating two days of discussion into actionable takeaways.
Ecosystem sentiment on:

  • Which components of a fusion pilot plant are most vulnerable to supply chain disruptions?
  • Where are the opportunities for American companies to own pieces of the fusion supply chain?
  • What technical milestones, if achieved, would draw significantly more private capital into fusion?
  • Are there remaining technical hurdles that, if unsolved, would render fusion energy not commercially viable? 
  • From the current position, who is most likely to achieve commercially viable fusion first: China or the United States?
