Description
A panel of senior figures from the world’s leading public sector entities supporting fusion explore the path to commercialisation, the challenges, their support and expectations, and the drivers for the public sector’s growing fusion focus.

- How do approaches differ from country-to-country, what are their relative strengths and where are the synergies between them?
