Business opportunities in the Fusion Research Project

Together with the Portuguese institute IPFN (Instituto de Plasmas e Fusão Nuclear) and other Portuguese companies, Critical participated in the ITER Business Forum in Nice. This Forum intended to establish a network between companies, disseminate information through conferences and workshops, pinpoint technological challenges and encourage exchange of knowledge.

ITER is a joint international research and development project that aims to demonstrate the scientific and technical feasibility of fusion power, the energy source of the sun and the stars. Ultimately this research will demonstrate that this energy source can be used to produce electricity in a safe and environmentally benign way, with abundant fuel resources, to meet the needs of a growing world population.
