Great Lakes Fusion Energy Supply Chain Forum

Unique program for operating companies with capabilities to supply the fast-growing fusion energy industry

The first grid-scale fusion power plants are expected to be operational in the early 2030s and the global fusion energy market is predicted to grow to $1 trillion by 2050. As the industry transitions from academic lab research to commercial factory scaling — now is the time to strategize an entry point and avoid being locked out of the industry by early movers.

This program is only open to operating companies that are supplying or interested in supplying the fusion industry. The interactive agenda includes:

Fusion at Work: SHINE Technologies

One of the oldest and most established companies in the global fusion industry, SHINE is backed by more than $500M of investments and earlier this year received a conditional commitment of up to $263M from the Department of Energy to complete construction of its Chrysalis facility, which uses fusion-driven systems to produce a critical medical isotope. We’ll discuss SHINE’s procurement process, current and future supply chain needs, sourcing priorities, pain points, and more. Ross Radel, Chief Technology Officer and John Schaefer, Buyer Planner – Procurement. Moderator: Kathleen Gallagher, Pulitzer Prize winner; 5 Lakes Institute Executive Director.

You’ll also enjoy small group networking and the following sessions (details coming soon!):

• Industry Info: Short discussion of new developments in the industry
• Supplier Stories: Moderated Chat with companies that are already supplying the fusion industry
• Partner Lab: Moderated Chat with a fusion researcher about potential partnerships with their lab
