Excited to share my recent experience on the Insiders Guide To Energy podcast, where I had the pleasure of discussing the future of fusion energy alongside David Cohen-Tanugi with Chris Sass and Jeff McAulay on Insider's Guide to Energy ! This conversation was a lot of fun to record, but we touched on a number of really important topics - and it was just great to air some of the discussions David and I have had offline as well.
Fusion holds immense opportunities, not just for established players but also for new entrants with fresh ideas. We need inbound open innovation to propel fusion forward. At the same time, investing in fusion will create spin-off opportunities, helping the sector gain near-term relevance while we work towards its long-term revolutionary potential.
Some companies might find that their real value lies in areas they hadn’t initially considered. In the discussion, I used a "Mission to Mars" analogy for fusion, hypothesising that while some players plan to go all the way to Mars, others may pivot on the way there, and become the best at building and launching satellites. Both routes would be examples of successful innovation.
At Kyoto Fusioneering, we're focused on developing technologies for the burgeoning fusion industry. The challenges in fusion are vast, and there are many as yet untapped problems that are ripe for innovation and investment.
It’s an exciting time to be in the fusion industry, and I’m always humbled to be part of these conversations. Tune in to hear more, and let me know what you think! 🎧
