The FUTTA III consortium supports innovative industrial projects in Europe through the promotion of fusion technologies and their spin-off applications. With six so-called knowledge brokers, each covering a region in Europe, the consortium helps scientists get into contact with potential industrial partners and supports the development of spin-off applications via their Demonstrator Call (next cut-off date End July 2024).
Nicolas Louée, FUTTA III Prime Coordinator, shared his insights: “The event was an opportunity to see the tangible results of our efforts in promoting fusion technologies and supporting open innovation projects leveraging fusion innovations to develop new products and services in new applications. It was inspiring to meet ENEA staff and facilities and witness the direct interactions between scientists and industry representatives, paving the way for future collaborations and applications.”
To mark the event, the technology transfer brokers together with their host ENEA organised a dedicated brokerage event. Here ENEA’s fusion scientists and the technology transfer brokers representing EUROfusion and Fusion for Energy made valuable connections with Italian industrial partners.
The FUTTA III meeting underscores the vital role of technology transfer in bridging the gap between scientific research and industrial application, fostering innovation and practical solutions through collaborative efforts across Europe.
