Description

A free-form discussion among a group of public-sector leaders on fusion development strategies, the benefits of cross-border co-operation, and the synergies that exist between their programs.

  • How do state-led, hybrid, and private-led models compare in their ability to sustain long-term fusion development and mobilise resources effectively?
  • What are the relative advantages of German federal/state coordination, UK public-private balance, and US market-driven models?
  • What synergies with the private sector can be delivered through international programs like ITER, or national ones like STEP?
  • What are the expectations and anticipated opportunities for cooperation from the coming EC Fusion Strategy?
