Welcoming remarks from SGInnovate and FusionX

A concise introduction to the global fusion landscape, covering core technologies, leading approaches, funding dynamics, and the key milestones shaping the path to commercialisation.

• The core fusion processes, advantages and benefits
• Main approaches and their current state of play
• Progress to date, funding, technology and talent needs
• Milestones & pathways to commercialisation
• Fusion, fission and SMRs: deployment, safety, and grid integration

An interactive session examining the fusion investment thesis, spanning global power, near-term non-power applications, fusion-adjacent innovations and the role of Singapore and Asia as emerging hubs for capital, industrialisation, and market adoption.

• What is the projected global market opportunity for fusion?
• Where are the most compelling opportunities in enabling technologies, spin-offs, and non-power applications?
• Which milestones and breakthroughs will be key catalysts for value creation?
• How can Singapore and the wider Asian ecosystem capture value from fusion?
• What are the potential pathways to liquidity/exit for investors?

A candid conversation between a fusion innovator and an investor.

Break and networking

Fusion research is already generating technologies with standalone commercial value beyond energy. This session examines how innovations emerging directly from fusion R&D — from AI-driven plasma simulation and digital twin platforms to advanced materials, precision manufacturing, and plasma diagnostics — are finding application across semiconductors, aerospace, healthcare, and defence, and the pathways bringing these technologies to market across the APAC region.

• How are neutron sources being commercialised across imaging, materials testing, and medical isotopes
• What applications are emerging from lasers and particle acceleration in manufacturing, healthcare, defence, and sensing?
• How are plasma diagnostics, advanced coatings, and fusion materials translating into markets such as aerospace and semiconductor manufacturing?
• What are the most viable routes to market for these applications, and which APAC markets offer the most accessible entry points?
• Where have similar technologies successfully transitioned from research to commercial deployment, and what lessons are applicable to fusion?

Fusion R&D is already generating technologies with standalone commercial value beyond energy. This session focuses on how fusion-driven innovations are being deployed into adjacent markets, creating near-term revenue pathways and value. Four short presentations + interactive Q&A from fusion innovators. 

• What specific technology has emerged from fusion work, and what problem does it solve in adjacent markets?
• Which initial markets are targeted, and why are they the best entry points?
• What has been the traction to date: pilots, contracts, revenue, partnerships?
• What is the route to scaling this application commercially?

An informal networking lunch connecting participants & panelists

Delivering fusion requires a new industrial stack of components, materials, systems, and capabilities — and the Asia-Pacific region is already building it. The Asia Pacific region brings distinct and complementary strengths to the global fusion supply chain. This session examines the technologies and capabilities being developed across the region, and where new entrants can participate most effectively. Four short presentations + interactive Q&A from fusion innovators.

• Where do components, subsystems, or capabilities sit in the value chain?
• What progress has been demonstrated to date?
• What are the key challenges to scaling this capability?
• What is your pathway to commercial deployment?
• Which partnerships are most critical to reaching scale?
• How do fusion technologies intersect with developments in adjacent sectors?

As fusion nears commercial reality, success will depend on coordinated ecosystems rather than isolated breakthroughs. This panel explores how cross-sector and international partnerships – spanning startups, research institutions, corporates, and investors – can accelerate scale-up, unlock capital, and connect innovation to market.

• How can cross-sector and international collaboration accelerate fusion development and commercialisation?
• What partnerships translate research into industrial capability and market entry?
• How can early alignment between startups, corporates, and investors de-risk scale-up and attract capital?
• Where are the key gaps in the value chain, and how can collaboration strengthen supply chain resilience?

Break and networking

As fusion transitions from scientific research to industrial scale-up, talent becomes a defining constraint and opportunity. Building the workforce requires aligned pathways linking academia, applied research, startups, and industry, while attracting global expertise and developing local capability. This panel explores how coordinated action across sectors can build the talent ecosystem needed to support fusion’s next phase.

• How can education, applied research, and industry be better connected to develop fusion talent?
• How can startups, investors, and corporates create meaningful technical and entrepreneurial pathways into the sector?
• What lessons from other deep tech sectors can inform fusion talent strategies?
• How can cross-border programmes accelerate skills development and technology transfer?
• How can talent from adjacent deep-tech sectors transition into fusion?
