International fusion network met in Munich

FusionX: Global

FusionX: Global is the leading event for the industrialization of fusion energy. Almost 500 experts from business, science, politics and capital came together at the end of February 2026 to talk about the industrialization of fusion. In the end, there were promising partnerships, exciting panels, keynotes and workshops as well as an announcement that can be seen as a milestone for the Bavarian fusion location. All impressions, learnings and pictures.

To the event recap

Fusion needs more than physics.

To turn research into industrial reality, strong industries are needed along the entire value chain. This is precisely where our networks come in - from materials and production to medical technology, security and digitalization.

Bayern Innovativ works on the central levers of the ecosystem:
