☀️Fraunhofer Industry Day on Fusion Energy ☀️ On June 10 and 11, 2024, the Fraunhofer Society hosted an industry day focusing on #fusionenergy in Munich. Recent scientific advancements, especially in laser #inertialfusion, mark the beginning of a new phase in the development of this technology as a sustainable energy source. The goal is to construct the first power plants by the middle of the century, which will require significant efforts. ✨"Fusion represents a significant opportunity for a sustainable energy transition in Germany, and it has the potential to become a key pillar of our future energy supply," stated Mario Brandenburg, the Parliamentary State Secretary of the Federal Ministery of Education and Research BMBF, in his opening speech, emphasizing the importance of fusion energy for Germany. ✨The German industry plays a leading role in the further development and industrialization of the necessary key technologies, which will be crucial for the implementation in power plants. Identifying spillover markets is essential to building sustainable supply chains. ✨The workshop was designed to discuss the topic, develop partnerships, and establish a common understanding for creating a fusion innovation ecosystem. Participants included executives from 35 German fusion research companies, representatives from the BMBF, and scientists from several Fraunhofer Institutes, the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), the Jülich Research Center (FZJ), and the Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics. #fusion #inertialfusionenergy #energysupply #sun #Ignition #energy #fusionIgnition #inertialconfinement #magneticfusion #energyproduction #climate #EnergyTransition #defossilization #decarbonization #SustainableFuture Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung / Karlsruher Institut für Technologie (KIT) / Forschungszentrum Jülich / Max-Planck-Institut für Plasmaphysik - IPP / Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft, Fraunhofer ISC, Fraunhofer ITWM, Fraunhofer IOF, Fraunhofer IMWS, Fraunhofer IAF, Fraunhofer ILT, Fraunhofer FEP, Fraunhofer INT, Fraunhofer IGCV, Fraunhofer IOSB, Fraunhofer IISB, Fraunhofer IAPT, Fraunhofer IIS, Fraunhofer IPM, Fraunhofer IKTS, Fraunhofer IMM, Fraunhofer IFAM, Fraunhofer IFAM Dresden, Fraunhofer EMI, Fraunhofer-Institut für Produktionstechnologie IPT, Fraunhofer IWS, Fraunhofer IWM, Fraunhofer IST, Fraunhofer IAO, FRAUNHOFER IZFP
