This keynote will provide a focused overview of how emerging hydrogen fusion technologies could reshape Europe’s decarbonisation pathways, investment priorities, and regulatory frameworks. Drawing on insights from EU private practice, the speaker will address the current state of fusion development, its alignment with the Union’s climate and industrial strategies, and the governance challenges that accompany early-stage deployment. The session will highlight what companies, investors, and policymakers should monitor as fusion shifts from long-term aspiration to a potential component of Europe’s sustainable energy mix.
