Description
Three short presentations by companies seeking to build a fusion machine or commercialize non-power fusion applications at the pre-Seed, Seed or Series A funding stage, followed by an interactive Q&A.
- What fusion approach or non-power application are you developing, and what problem does it solve?
- What are the key technical challenges that still need to be overcome?
- Why is the next major milestone that meaningfully de-risks your approach?
- What are your key performance or cost targets (such as LCOE for power applications), and what makes them achievable?
