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?
