Fusion Forward: Commercializing Fusion Technology in Wisconsin
Date: Tuesday, September 24th
Time: 4:30 pm - 5:45 pm
Place: Wisconsin Energy Institute, 1552 University Ave., or via Zoom (see website for reg info)
Speaker: Various, Various
Abstract: Recent technological breakthroughs, favorable policies, and increased investment have brightened the prospects for fusion energy, a long-studied and promising source of cheap, pollution-free, and virtually limitless power. As several startup companies aim to advance fusion from the research lab to commercial reality, Wisconsin is well positioned to become an economic hub for this groundbreaking technology. However, the journey to commercialization is complex and lengthy. Join us for an engaging discussion with Wisconsin-based fusion companies and researchers as they share both their visions for bringing fusion technology to market and the challenges they face.
