On the 18th June, London’s iconic Science Museum became the epicentre of the growing fusion community, as FUSION24 opened its doors.
There were 13 thought-provoking sessions throughout the day on a wide range of topics, including a whistle-stop tour of national labs, how can we fund fusion, the importance of public perception and what we can learn from other industries.
The variety of speakers and panellists showed that there are different paths to fusion. But there were common themes that were repeated throughout the day, namely the reasons why fusion will be key to the future of energy production.
The day was summed up by Rosie Barker from First Light Fusion, who was a panellist on ‘A Unified Force: Fostering skills in a changing world’.
"Fusion24 was a brilliant day! The overarching message for me was the need to urgently communicate with the world how fusion can positively impact their lives.
"We often talk about fusion being the solution to climate change and providing clean power. However, the conference went beyond this to highlight how fusion will change the lives of individuals living in poverty by providing cheap electricity, those living without water by providing power for desalination plants, and many more people besides.
"I attended a series of panels on how we can ensure the future of fusion has public support and has the diverse, skilled workforce it needs. There was a powerful panel session about the importance of narrative. My takeaway was that we need to be proactive about messaging if we want the world to enthusiastically adopt fusion as the next great technological development."
After months of planning, attendees from as far afield as Japan, Singapore and the US came together for a day packed with discussions on the future of clean energy.
FUSION24 sets itself apart by looking beyond traditional fusion circles, with a remit to engage with people and companies that are not currently involved in fusion or aware of the opportunities. This year, the event attracted delegates from diverse sectors like AI, machine learning, finance, utilities and construction, all crucial for accelerating the path to commercial fusion power.
Over 320 attendees, representing 67 organisations and 12 countries, participated in the event. In addition to the presentations and panel discussions, delegates and speakers also enjoyed plenty of networking opportunities, with the Science Museum's stunning top floor, overlooking London's famous landmarks, providing the perfect backdrop.
