Arrival, introductions and informal networking.

Senior Representative, Government of India (Dept of Atomic Energy / NITI Aayog)

An international fusion investor outlines the global fusion landscape.

• The core fusion process, its advantages and benefits
• Main approaches and their current state of play
• Funding to date and needs to commercialisation
• Milestones & pathways to commercialisation/grid integration

A technical-but-accessible session examining the current state of private sector fusion globally, the remaining hurdles to commercially viable fusion, the many pathways to it and the size of the opportunity it presents.

• What milestones to Q>1 and from there to grid-relevant power?
• Which challenges matter most: plasma performance, materials resilience, fuel cycle, funding?
• Where are the biggest differences in risk across MCF, ICF and other architectures?
• What will prove most decisive in commercialisation: performance, manufacturability, capex, O&M, or deployment speed?

Connect with fellow attendees and network over coffee.

A discussion on global fusion progress and how India can participate as a strategic partner, supply-chain contributor, and technology collaborator.

• Where is fusion progress translating into near-term industrial demand?
• Which supply-chain bottlenecks create the clearest opportunity for India?
• Where can India build durable competitive advantage in the fusion supply chain?
• What actions does India need to take to secure a strategically relevant role in fusion?

An informal networking lunch.

This session explores how Indian capital – venture funds, family offices, strategic corporates – can invest directly in leading international fusion companies and fusion supply-chain opportunities.

• How can Indian investors access and evaluate international fusion investment opportunities?
• How should investors assess risk, timelines and return potential in fusion?
• What co-investment structures and partnership models are most effective in fusion?
• What strategic value can India capture beyond financial return?

Short presentation from fusion innovators covering technical progress, commercialisation pathways, market potential, and opportunities for Indian investment and partnership followed by a discussion on MCF and its path to commercilaization.

• What technical milestones still separate MCF from commercially viable deployment?
• How critical are advances in HTS magnets, materials and plant engineering to accelerating commercialisation?
• Where are the strongest opportunities for Indian capital, industry and strategic partnership across the MCF ecosystem?

Connect with fellow attendees and network over coffee.

An investor-focused session examining how fusion companies are financed across stages, the role of project finance and public capital, and where Indian investors can participate most effectively.

• How do fusion financing requirements evolve from venture-backed R&D to FOAK plant deployment?
• What role will public capital, strategic capital and project finance each play in scaling fusion?
• Where does investment risk shift most materially to commercialisation?
• Where can Indian investors participate most effectively in the capital stack?

Short presentations from fusion innovators covering technical progress, commercialisation pathways, market potential, and opportunities for Indian investment and partnership ICF and its path to commercialization.

• What technical and engineering milestones still separate ICF from commercially viable deployment?
• How important are advances in drivers, power electronics, diodes and target manufacturing to commercial scale-up?
• Where are the strongest opportunities for Indian capital, industry and strategic partnership across the ICF ecosystem?

An examination of India’s strengths in engineering, manufacturing, and national lab expertise, and how these can be leveraged to support global fusion deployment

• Where does India already have globally relevant capability across fusion engineering, manufacturing and scientific talent?
• Which parts of the fusion supply chain are best aligned with India’s strengths?
• What must India do to translate existing capability into strategic relevance in global fusion deployment?

An interactive session to assess the conference’s sentiment towards fusion and its view on the immediate opportunity for engagement with the global fusion ecosystem.

All participants are invited to a networking drinks reception.
