Fusion

Fusion could be the ultimate clean power solution.

Representing a low carbon, safe, continuous, and effectively unlimited source of energy. UKI2S backs companies which are part of the fusion technology cluster.

By attracting further investment into the sector and related technologies, we help develop the supply chain and skills to deliver clean energy worldwide. The pursuit of fusion also leads to spin-off opportunities in areas such as materials, robotics and artificial intelligence.

“It’s an exciting time in the fusion sector as the world races towards achieving net zero. Fusion is really difficult and demanding, and it requires innovation in multiple areas from control systems through materials, photonics and highly advanced modelling software to ultra high field magnets. Often fusion can be an early driver through research programmes, with the promise of large scale markets in future. But in the interim there are multiple opportunities to apply these technologies in a wide range of commercial applications in different industries outside fusion itself.”

Luffy AI

Imagine a future where industry, the backbone of society, is revitalised. The rising costs of labour and energy and a retiring workforce are significant cross-sector industrial challenges. Furthermore, the resources sector is transitioning to more energy efficient and autonomous processes with lower emissions, while manufacturers are driving productivity improvements enabled by increasing automation and quality.

AI enables powerful new solutions to drive the next industrial revolution. It also unlocks previously inaccessible value from equipment and processes.
