Fusion Industry Association

Yesterday's groundbreaking on a high-power laser & fusion facility in Colorado, upcoming meetings in Rome for the G7 Working Group on Fusion and the IAEA World Fusion Energy Group... Catch up on what we're up to with today's Fusion Industry Association newsletter. Here's our CEO Andrew Holland's intro - full update at the link below. Hello from Colorado! I’m here celebrating the groundbreaking of Marvel Fusion and Colorado State University’s partnership on a new high-power laser and fusion research facility, that they’ve named “ATLAS.” I think this partnership is so important because it covers public, private, and international collaboration on doing the important science that is needed to commercialize fusion. The launch featured remarks from the President of CSU, Amy Parsons; U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Undersecretary of Energy for Science and Innovation, Geri Richmond; Congressman Joe Neguse; and Marvel’s CEO, Moritz von der Linden. Many of the team from Marvel made the trip from Bavaria, as an important sign of partnership. While here, I’m taking advantage of being in the state to visit Colorado-based FIA members Xcimer Energy Corporation and Horne Technologies, Inc.. It’s been a great couple of days in the emerging fusion hub of Colorado. Coming up, in early November, we look forward to a couple of important fusion events in Rome, where first the G7 Working Group on Fusion Energy will meet and then the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) World Fusion Energy Group will kick off. You might remember the G7 Leader’s Summit earlier this year, where the leaders declared to work together on finding collaborative opportunities in accelerating fusion commercialization, along with together achieving consistent regulatory approaches. Then, the IAEA’s World Fusion Energy Group inaugural ministerial meeting will bring together public and private leaders to map out pathways to commercializing fusion. The FIA is working directly with the IAEA and our member companies to ensure a productive meeting. Also - exciting news at FIA - we’re expanding our team! Two positions are open: Director for Events and Membership and Manager for Public Policy. Learn more at the links and forward along to anyone you think might make a good addition. As always, thank you for keeping up with the FIA and all our activity. Andrew Holland Chief Executive Officer Fusion Industry Association https://lnkd.in/eZEeX6bd

Watch FIA's CEO on the promise and potential of "Harnessing Star Power" on YouTube.

Make sure you watch the The Wall Street Journal video about China's efforts to take the lead on fusion, compared to the US, spending twice as much on government research and building the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) plan for fusion commercialization. However, as FIA CEO Andrew Holland says in the video, the private sector enables the US and partner countries to work together to see a private approach to commercial fusion built faster.

Earlier this week, the Fusion Industry Association participated in the first Nordic Fusion Forum co-organised by our Swedish member Novatron Fusion Group AB in collaboration with KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm. The event gathered policymakers, business leaders, investors and media from the region, and tackled the role of Nordic countries in the rapid scale-up of fusion energy. Cyrille Mai Thanh, FIA’s Europe Director, presented the latest news around fusion commercialisation both at global and European level. Commercial fusion energy will become a reality in the decade of 2030’s. In fact, we have never been so close to achieving fusion energy, and the Nordics can play an important role in accelerating the industrialisation of fusion. #FusionEnergy #CleanTech #NordicFusionForum

The Fusion Industry Association is looking for an experienced and motivated individual to join our organization as the Director for Events and Membership. As the FIA grows along with the fusion energy industry, this individual will play a key role in building fusion’s footprint in Washington and other key areas. The Director will be a vital part of a small team. They will be responsible for advancing the fusion industry through strategic events, membership growth, and partnership building. Reporting directly to the CEO, the Director will be instrumental in ensuring FIA’s success in providing meaningful value for members, affiliate members, and partners by organizing impactful events and amplifying the voice of the fusion industry.

Great things always start with one step. We look forward to continuing to support the Nordic Fusion Forum as it grows yearly. Thanks for hosting, Novatron Fusion Group AB!

Important day yesterday in Stockholm with the launch of the new Nordic Fusion Forum.

Tackling climate change requires a lot of work from the private sector. That’s why we were so happy to help kick off Climate Week NYC this week by heading to Nasdaq for the market’s opening bell. Our CEO Bob Mumgaard joined the opening festivities alongside Emerson Collective’s Laurene Powell Jobs and Galvanize Climate Solutions’ Tom Steyer. This event spotlighted fusion and other crucial building blocks for making the energy transition real and decarbonizing our economy. And it showed the role that climate investing plays toward that progress. Thank you to the Emerson Collective for inviting us to be a part of this progress. #ClimateWeekNYC #Fusion #Energy
