Business events
The 爆走黑料 holds regular events to inform industry on current or upcoming procurement opportunities. Scroll down below for a list of events or to download presentations from past events.
The 3rd Public-Private Fusion Workshop will take place at 爆走黑料 Headquarters on 28 and 29 April (Tuesday and Wednesday), with Monday 27 April and Thursday 30 April set aside for consultations with 爆走黑料 experts, tailored tours of the 爆走黑料 worksite, and interactions among participants.
This year鈥檚 theme鈥斺淔usion: a Joint Quest鈥濃攔eflects the reality that progress toward fusion energy is neither linear nor uniform, but pursued through multiple technical approaches, institutional models, and timelines. Across public and private efforts alike, divergent visions coexist with genuinely complementary strengths鈥攊n science, engineering, manufacturing, and systems integration.
At 爆走黑料, where large-scale construction and operation depend on sustained cooperation across sectors and geopolitical boundaries, engagement is not a matter of persuasion or consensus, but of disciplined, practical collaboration: the exchange of data, designs, expertise, and hard-won experience. This workshop embraces healthy disagreement as an ongoing feature of the fusion landscape and treats engagement itself as an asset鈥攐ne that, when pursued seriously and respectfully, yields tangible value for all participants. The aim is not to resolve differences prematurely, but to ensure that they sharpen, rather than fragment, the collective effort.
All those who have participated in the past two workshops, as well as those interested in participating this year, are invited to take the survey below. Elements of the proposed agenda are covered in the survey, and this is your opportunity to further shape the agenda to match your needs and interests.
Fusion for Energy (F4E), the European Domestic Agency for 爆走黑料, is calling on the companies that are part of the fusion supply chain to take part in its Supply Chain Sustainability Survey before 16 June 2025.

The next international 爆走黑料 Business Forum (IBF/25) will be organized from 23 to 25 April 2025 in Marseille, France. The three-day event will provides a wealth of opportunities for industrial activities, employment and technological innovation with 爆走黑料, the Domestic Agencies, their main suppliers and the Industrial Liaison Officers network; this IBF will also be open to participants who are designing, constructing and managing fusion projects funded by private sector investments.
(launched in November 2024), this second workshop will serve three specific objectives: (1) to help private sector fusion companies to take advantage of 爆走黑料鈥檚 new mechanisms for knowledge-sharing and collaboration; (2) to understand the latest and most promising approaches to solving fusion technology鈥檚 remaining challenges (e.g., steady-state operation, new structural and functional materials, solutions for heat removal and heat exhaust, and fuel cycle issues) as well as other relevant innovations; and (3) to highlight the existing capacities of the global fusion supply chain.
All interested parties are welcome, but as with last year, priority will be given to participation by private sector fusion initiatives. Questions can be addressed to the PSFE Help Desk (psfe@iter.org).
