Fusion for Energy (F4E) and EUROfusion have partnered to launch the European Fusion Technology Marketplace, a joint platform to promote technology transfer from the field of fusion to other domains. The website offers companies and experts a diverse portfolio of technologies developed by F4E’s industrial partners and the laboratories forming EUROfusion.

Indeed, the cutting-edge technologies and processes developed for projects like ITER hold great potential beyond the remit of fusion. The mission of the F4E and EUROfusion technology transfer programmes, in collaboration with Viromii and InExtenso as the respective brokers, is to present these technical breakthroughs to the wider European industry and help them make a commercial transition towards new markets.

“Fusion presents many synergies with other innovation ecosystems. By promoting breakthroughs and connecting different parties we are generating new business opportunities and reinforcing Europe’s competitiveness”, asserts F4E Director, Marc Lachaise.

“The expansion of the technology transfer programmes enhance the added value of fusion research to the economy and society, as emphasised in the Euratom Work Programme 2021-2025.” stresses the EUROfusion Programme Manager, Ambrogio Fasoli.

“We have solid experience in assisting interested companies in leveraging fusion know-how. We can offer them expert services, and a flexible intellectual property policy,” explains Carmen Casteras, Intellectual Property and Technology Transfer Specialist at F4E.
