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?
