Great Lakes Fusion Energy Summit
Fusion energy is moving from vision to reality. With the first grid-scale power plants expected to be operational in the early 2030s, now is the time to build leadership in this transformative industry. Join us next year for the Great Lakes Fusion Energy Summit and Mixer in Madison to explore how our region can capitalize on this next wave of innovation and economic growth.

Great Lakes Fusion Energy Alliance
Our region has everything -- world-class research universities and laboratories, cutting-edge fusion companies, precision manufacturers, and a skilled workforce—for building from the ground up a dynamic, resilient fusion energy industry with good-paying jobs.
The Great Lakes Fusion Energy Alliance is increasing awareness of our unmatched industrial and academic research strengths around fusion energy and growing the number of regional manufacturing companies engaged in helping to make fusion energy viable.
Our goal is to facilitate win-win collaborations that leverage the region’s commercial and academic fusion energy expertise and advanced manufacturing prowess to solve the problems involved in building a fusion energy industry.
