"Nuclear fusion is coming - not someday, but now. The fact is: to turn this technological vision into industrial reality as quickly as possible, we need strategic networking, long-term capital and strong partnerships. This is exactly what FusionX:Global stands for. The fact that this international congress is being held in Munich for the first time is no coincidence - it is the result of our strong fusion ecosystem of IPP, excellent universities and innovative companies. With the High-Tech Agenda Bavaria, we are creating the basis for turning research into added value."

- Markus Blume, StMWK

"We are incredibly grateful that Bayern Innovativ supports us and the entire ecosystem. It is because of Bayern Innovativ that FusionX came to Munich and this event is the most important thing for Fusion. [...] Without Bayern Innovativ, we would not have networked so well with the Bavarian government to bring an event like this together. This morning we had a press conference [...] and we also talked about FusionX. I think the whole ecosystem is grateful that this is happening now, because the international system sees that something special is happening here."

- Francesco Sciortino, Proxima Fusion

"FusionX: Global 2026 here in Munich was an absolute success. As Bayern Innovativ, we managed to bring this international conference to Bavaria and Germany for the first time. Incredible things have happened here: Companies have networked with scientists and politicians, collaborations have emerged along the future value chains and start-ups have found new venture capitalists. This conference has generated enormous momentum and shown that Bavaria, Germany and Europe are among the world leaders in fusion - whether magnetic fusion or laser fusion."

- Dr. Rainer Seßner, Bayern Innovativ

"The fusion industry has reached a historic threshold: the transition from scientific possibility to technical feasibility. By combining public and private ambition, milestone-based programs, and targeted incentives, we now have the opportunity to accelerate progress and mobilize the private capital needed to bring fusion to market and usher in a new era of clean, inexhaustible energy."

- Heike Freund, Marvel Fusion

"We are currently experiencing a parallel development of milestones for the fusion industry and the further development of fusion research in Bavaria. And I am convinced that we can offer really good opportunities for new economic power, new jobs and new prospects in Bavaria, both in the fusion sector itself and in the supply chain. And that's why we as a state government are so united and 100 percent behind this project, behind this path."

- Tobias Gotthardt, StMWi

"The networking of all relevant players is very important in order to make faster progress towards a fusion power plant. The federal government is providing around 2.4 billion euros for fusion in this legislative period alone, but a considerable amount of private capital is also needed for this key technology, which is very important for Germany, and international investment in Germany is welcomed. We want Germany to become a leading player in a future fusion economy."

- Dr. Rolf-Dieter Jungk, BMFTR

[...] Our investors come from all over the world, some of them from Europe, the Middle East and the USA. So of course it's perfect to be at an event where people from all corners of the world come together. I've been to all FusionX events and you can tell it's different here. It was about implementation, concrete goals, concrete implementation. And that's what sets us apart here in Germany and Europe.
