Open Call for
Fusion Technology Transfer
Demonstrator Projects

Accelerating technology transfer by funding promising projects.

Fusion for Energy (F4E) and EUROfusion have launched the 2026 Open Call for Fusion Technology Transfer Demonstrator Projects, supporting projects that aim to bring fusion technologies and know-how to the market.

This initiative is designed to accelerate the transfer of fusion innovations, fostering new business opportunities and cross-industry impact.

What is the call about?

The call targets demonstrator projects that apply fusion-derived technologies, expertise or methodologies to real-world challenges. Proposals should focus on validating use cases, advancing market readiness and demonstrating clear value in industrial environments.

F4E Demonstrator Call

F4E supports projects that bring fusion technologies closer to the market, both within and beyond the fusion sector.

  • Up to 2 projects will be funded
  • Up to 50.000 EUR per project
  • Open to European companies and research organisations
  • Focus on market-oriented applications and commercial potential

EUROfusion Demonstrator Call

EUROfusion supports projects that transfer fusion technologies and know-how to applications outside the fusion domain.

  • Up to 4 projects will be funded
  • Up to 50.000 EUR per project
  • Focus on exploitation of fusion results in non-fusion markets
  • Open to European companies and research organisations
  • EUROfusion Beneficiaries can be supported up to 25% Full Time Equivalent (3 person months) for fusion scientist/s through the work package FUTTA, inline with the EUROfusion cofunding rules and reimbursement rates

Why apply?

Selected projects will receive financial support to develop and validate their demonstrators, reduce technological and market risks, and explore new application areas. The call offers a unique opportunity to leverage fusion expertise in sectors such as energy, aerospace, manufacturing, healthcare and more.

Important dates

  • Application period: 15th of April to 31st of July 2026
  • Webinar: a joint webinar to explain all the details will take place on the 3rd of June at 15h. Register here.

Previous projects selected

Axon’ Cable adapting an ITER cable solution to environments like particle accelerators and space.

Operview, a spin-off from Tampere University, uses ITER remote vision system to teleoperate industrial vehicles.

DAES France leverages on a software developed for ITER to open new business perspectives in fission nuclear power plants

Low-temperature co-fired ceramic multilayer substrates to offer new competitive products for power electronics, LEDs and sensors applications.

VIA electronic expands its competitive advantage and gets closer to the market thanks to the demonstrator funding

Casting mold materials made of Tungsten fibre Composites (Wf/W) for high-temperature die casting

Invented to suppress the propagation of cracks at the surface of wall targets in fusion, tungsten fibres materials could increase the lifetime of molds in die casting applications.

Protective tungsten-based coatings for combustion chamber for aerospace applications

Studied for the plasma-wall interaction in the presence of high thermal loads in fusion, the deposition of thick tungsten and high melting point materials coatings have been adopted to manufacture protective coatings for combustion chamber for aerospace applications

Tungsten alloys for extended life corona discharge electrodes

Several W-based alloys have been investigated for application at the blanket first-wall of DEMO. This promising materials along new coating technologies have been considered to increase the lifetime of corona discharge electrode for applications in surface cleaning, air treatment and cooling electronics.

Towards a better rationalization of fibre optics manufacturing

Developed to carry out truly statistical multi-physics investigations based on the analysis of thousands of tokamak discharges, auto-adaptive algorithms have been implemented for a new concept of high speed and in-line optical fiber quality control.
