Description
A short presentation followed by an interactive discussion exploring the market size and structure and the investment opportunity for superconductivity – HTS tape and wires, and HTS magnets.
- What immediate markets exist for high-temperature superconducting systems in power infrastructure, quantum computing, imaging and diagnostics, propulsion…?
- What are the dynamics of these markets and how entrenched are the incumbents?
- Is HTS role as a replacement or complement to LTS? Does it win existing markets or create new ones?
- What additional market opportunities are presented by related cryogenic systems?
