Catalysing dual-use commercialisation
Old College, Royal Military Academy Sandhurst

In partnership with
Fusion, Innovation & Defence Applications
Developments in high-energy systems, pulsed power, advanced materials, superconducting magnets, and precision sensing are directly relevant to next-generation weapons systems. Beyond weapons, fusion-derived technologies have clear implications for military logistics and operational resilience.
FusionX:Defence will be a focused day built around an exploration of opportunities across these domains. It will explore how fusion-adjacent technologies are and could transition into defence-relevant applications.
It will connect fusion-related opportunities with investors, funders, defence stakeholders, primes, and strategic partners through curated interactions designed to catalyse dual-use commercialisation, and integration into real-world systems.
