UKAEA has launched the 2026-2030 organisational strategy for its national fusion laboratory, building directly on the UK Government’s Fusion Strategy launched last month. It was also aligned with the publication of the strategy for UKAEA Group’s subsidiary company, UK Fusion Energy Ltd.
The release of the strategy sets out the national laboratory’s role to deliver foundational research, technology and innovation to support the UK fusion sector through world leading expertise and capability.
The Global Fusion Guide for SMEs has launched, outlining the commercial opportunities within the fusion energy sector for small and medium sized enterprises across the UK.
The Global Fusion Guide for SMEs supports the second part of UKAEA’s mission – to maximise UK economic benefit. It is designed to help UK businesses understand where opportunities are emerging and how to engage with the global fusion sector in a practical, accessible way. It explains how fusion is regulated differently from nuclear fission and outlines practical first steps for SMEs, such as joining fusion clusters, attending supplier engagement events, and applying for innovation funding to support early market entry.
UKAEA has launched a national centre to develop the advanced measurement technology needed to make fusion a reality. DICE, or the Diagnostic Innovation Centre of Excellence is based at UKAEA’s Culham Campus and aims to strengthen the UK’s position as a world leader in fusion diagnostics.
Since opening, DICE has already secured contracts with a combined value of more than £10 million with 10 organisations. Over time, DICE will play a central role in shaping the future of fusion technology, by supporting supply chain growth and training the next generation of fusion specialists.
