Fusion Energy: Optimism and Opportunity

Wednesday, August 27, 2025,
8:00pm to 9:00pm
CDT
Virtual / Online

Fusion energy offers the potential for safe, abundant, reliable, and carbon-free power, which is increasingly important as global energy demand rises with advances in artificial intelligence. Although fusion energy has long been anticipated, recent progress has sparked optimism that it may soon become reality. Achieving net energy fusion is only the start—companies will need to scale up production and offer competitive prices, requiring strong supply chain and workforce strategies. As fusion moves from development to deployment, there are growing opportunities in related fields and industries, and now is the time to develop your strategy to take advantage of this potentially massive opportunity.
