Nordic Fusion Forum 2026

The 3rd Nordic Fusion Forum in Copenhagen, Denmark marks the next step for fusion in the Nordic region — moving from awareness to action.

Building on last year’s forum, which highlighted fusion’s potential across the Nordics, this year’s event focuses on turning momentum into concrete progress. Policymakers, industry leaders, scientists, and investors will explore how to accelerate the development and industrialization of fusion energy.

The forum will highlight the strategic opportunity for the Nordics and Europe to position themselves as a hub for next-generation energy innovation.

We will explore:

  • Building a Nordic & European fusion ecosystem: partnerships, supply chains, workforce development, and offtake agreements
  • Policy and positioning: strengthening the Nordics’ role as leaders in fusion and innovation
  • Investment and impact: the business case for fusion, cross-sector applications, and early collaboration opportunities

More than a forum, this event marks the next step in turning Nordic ambition into real progress — positioning the region at the forefront of the emerging global fusion economy. ⚡🌍
