FusionX

Through our news and data platform and the highly respected FusionXInvest conference series, we aim to educate the full spectrum of the global investment community on the entire fusion energy ecosystem. From private equity and venture capital firms to specialist tech and climate funds, mainstream GPs, and a broad range of strategic investors, FusionX bridges the gap between investors and fusion companies, their technologies, and supply chains. 

FusionX Group has run investor conferences in London, in Boston in collaboration with MIT,  in Tokyo, and imminently in Silicon Valley in collaboration with Stanford University and SLAC.

5 Lakes Institute was founded in 2007 to promote collaborative development of high-tech solutions to grand challenge problems in healthcare, manufacturing, and agriculture in and around metropolitan Milwaukee.  

The Institute initially provided shared high-performance computing (HPC) resources to area research institutions, entrepreneurs, and companies. It offered private cloud computing services and training in the use of HPC for modeling and simulation, funded in part by $1 million of grants from the Wisconsin Economic Development Corp. When cloud computing became more commoditized, the Institute donated its HPC stack to a healthcare institution for genomic research and population studies.

In 2017 the Institute pivoted to embrace an expanded economic development agenda. This strategic pivot focused on accelerating the pace of technological innovation and entrepreneurship across the Great Lakes Region by promoting a regional high-tech infrastructure and ecosystem founded on our belief in the importance of cooperation across the region.
