A panel of senior figures from the world’s leading fusion energy entities and their investors discuss and define the path to commercialisation, and the implications for revaluations, up-rounds and exits.

• What is the status of the leading technologies? What challenges remain to achieving private-sector break-even?
• How has the financing environment changed in the past 12 months and how can the challenges be navigated, and capital flows sustained?
• How important is the monetization of IP, adjacent applications and other pre-generation revenues to maintaining cash and progress?
• How does the path, and valuations, evolve as fusion moves from science and tech, to engineering, to construction, to off-takers & commercial risk?
