An interactive presentation, hosted by Melanie Windridge, Co-Founder, FusionX to explain Japan’s strategy to develop a world-leading fusion industry.

• How is the ‘National Strategy for Fusion Energy’ evolving to support private sector fusion in Japan
• How does the evolving regulatory environment support fusion in Japan?
• What concrete policies support supply chains & core technologies?
• How can international entities best coordinate with peers in Japan?
   

An interactive session to define the evolution, sizes, & dynamics of a global fusion market served by commercial fusion power plants & supporting supply-chain, and the role for Japanese and APAC entities in it.

• How big might the global market for fusion power production actually be, and where will the biggest opportunities lay?
• How will cost reductions through technological development influence deployment curves as fusion power plants develop?
• What does this mean for supply chains supporting fusion power plants?
   

A panel of senior figures from the world’s leading public & private, fusion-focused entities discuss key challenges on the path to commercialisation:

• How close are the leading technologies to achieving private-sector break-even, & what effect will that have on investment in the sector?
• What are the main challenges, and what needs to be done, to accelerate movement towards commercialisation?
• How can the use of industrialized fusion tech for non-power applications, de-risk the path to commercial fusion-power generation?
• What needs to be done to create an efficient global fusion sector, harmonising regulation for operations and codes/standards for inputs?
   

Two leading international fusion investors to explore the investment thesis for fusion energy, how fusion sits with allocations to renewables, alternative energy, or deep-tech, and the role for Japanese and regional expertise and capital in fusion.

A panel of leading Japanese, regional and international investors and share their thoughts, motivations and expectations on fusion as an investment opportunity:

• What are expectations & how has fusion performed vs. expectations thus far?
• Can fusion enhance short- & long-term returns? Does it reduce risk/bring diversification to a portfolio? What’s an ideal weighting towards fusion? 
• What are Asian investors’ strategies to address the fusion opportunity, how do they compare with international investors?
• What are the strategic investment opportunities in the fusion-supply chain?
   

A panel of regional executives and their international partners explore the role EPC companies can play in derisking the path to the commercialisation of fusion including as strategic investors, engineering partners, advocates for appropriate regulation, and the harmonization of codes and standards.

Japan is especially well-positioned to deliver critical components to the global fusion industry. Investing in companies that seek to resolve the engineering or construction challenges of fusion companies, or supply the specialist inputs fusion requires, can both give diverse exposure in fusion + other fast growing markets.

• What technical & engineering challenges/solutions in fusion present opportunities for Japanese & international entities?
• Do businesses with expertise in e.g. HTS, reactor-vessel materials, or fuel processing give diverse exposure to both fusion & other markets?
• What are the risks and opportunities presented by a portfolio of IP 
• What are the prospects for consolidation in fusion, fusion-tech & supply chains? And what strategic benefits might consolidation bring?
   

A series of short presentations from fusion innovators, followed by an interactive Q&A, exploring the variety of approaches to the commercialisation of fusion.

• There are many feasible paths to the commercialisation of fusion – MCF and ICF, D-T or aneutronic etc – what are the cost, risk or other benefits of different approaches? 
• What role can Asian investors, partners or suppliers play in the advance of these companies?
• What criteria should potential partners, suppliers or investors apply when exploring fusion opportunities?
   

Representatives from international fusion companies and their APAC  partners – suppliers, strategic & financial investors – explore their collaboration.

• How can collaboration accelerate the path to commercialisation?
• How partnerships mitigate the challenges of financing a long-term, capital-intensive project such as fusion?
• What is the optimum role for regional private-sector tech & engineering?
• How are such partnerships most effectively structured?
