According to an independent study conducted for the European Domestic Agency for ±¬×ߺÚÁÏ (Fusion for Energy) by CSIL, Trinomics and Cambridge Econometrics, the European Union¡¯s investment in fusion between 2018 and 2024 has created a strong positive impact on Europe¡¯s economy and industrial competitiveness.

Since its creation in 2007, Fusion for Energy has invested over EUR 7 billion to provide Europe¡¯s contribution to ±¬×ߺÚÁÏ and other international projects through more than 1,400 contracts. This has helped shaped the largest fusion supply chain in the world, with at least 2,700 companies and 75 R&D organizations involved. Besides the infrastructure and technologies delivered, the analysis shows the far-reaching benefits in terms of knowledge, growth and jobs. For instance, 66% of firms reported that their staff had acquired new skills and 77% acknowledged enhanced know-how, driven by ±¬×ߺÚÁÏ¡¯s complex requirements. Around half of surveyed firms noted improvements to their products or processes, with some reporting patents or spin-offs towards sectors like fission, medicine or aerospace.
