Building a new SME market

Deep technology creates parallel momentum with the economy

Nuclear fusion is making scientific and technical progress. Several international successes over the past five years underpin this confidence. Experts currently estimate the scientific timeframe at ten years – the final research questions must be clarified by around 2035. By then, technical norms and standards should have been outlined, maybe established. From then on, the industry will need another ten years to develop and ramp up a fusion power plant. The horizon therefore extends to around 2050. Now is the time for building a new market which will be open for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).
