Arizona’s Fusion Future

Join AZ Tech Week and the University of Arizona for Arizona’s Fusion Future, a dynamic panel bringing together leading industry experts and university researchers to explore the science and opportunity behind inertial fusion energy in Arizona.

Panelists will break down the fundamentals of fusion – how it works, why it matters and how recent breakthroughs are bringing the promise of clean, virtually limitless energy closer to reality. The discussion will also highlight how Southern Arizona is uniquely positioned to become a national hub for fusion innovation, engineering and workforce development. Hear directly from industry partners and researchers about how we move fusion energy science and commercialization efforts forward.

Discover how partnerships among universities, industry and national laboratories can help power the next generation of energy right here in Arizona.
