The CDTI Innovation drives the spanish presence in the IBF 2025, the main global forum of nuclear fusion
The CDTI Innovation leads the spanish participation in ITER Business Forum 2025 (IBF 2025), the most relevant international event of nuclear fusion, to be held from 23 to 25 march in Marseille. More than 34 spanish companies will participate in this strategic, in which the CDTI organizes the pavilion Spain, strengthening its role as a link in large industrial scientific facilities and promoting international visibility of national technological fabric
TheITER Business Forum (IBF 2025)the largest international event dedicated to shed light on the business opportunities of the ITER project, will be held from 23 to 25 march in Marseille. In the forum over 1,000 key actors in the field of nuclear fusion, including companies of reference in the supply chain, high-level representatives of the ITER Organisation, in particular Fusion for Energy (F4E), and the major emerging private initiatives in this field at the global level.
During the three days of the congress, participants may participate inparallel sessionsfocusing on the main challenges and opportunitiesITER project (International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor)in Areas such as the construction of nuclear technologies, power systems, remote maintenance and handling, heating systems of blood, diagnostics, artificial intelligence, digital transformation and fuel cycle. Will be held bilateral meetings with leaders of the sector, networking activities and the possibility of visiting the work of the reactor ITER, one of the most ambitious scientific infrastructure of the world.
The CDTI Innovation organizes the pavilion Spain in the IBF 2025
Aware of the strategic relevance of the event for this industrial sector, the CDTI Innovation organized by the spanish flag within the industrial exhibition, which will bring together over 100 international speakers. In this area will have a prominent representation spanish companies working in the sector and, with the participation of and CIEMAT Induciencia, the platform that includes spanish companies working in science. In total, more than nine spanish companies will be part of the exhibition area.
In addition, bethlehem del Cerro, point of contact with the spanish industry in the ITER project and the CDTI IFMIF-DONES will moderate the round table on heating systems of blood, to be held on 24 april.
Strong presence of start-ups merge
The edition of 2025 extends its scope with an expanded focus on collaboration público-privada. The days leading up to the forum (22 and 23 april) will take place a workshop focused on the emerging private initiatives, many of them already positioned as focal points in technological innovation for fusion. At the global level, is accounted for more than 44 private initiatives active in this field, supported by investment of more than 7 billion.
The ITER project, an overall bet for future energy
ITER is one of the largest bookmaker to demonstrate the global scientific and technological feasibility of obtaining energy by nuclear fusion magnetic confinement. In its construction, which develops site in Cadarache (France), involved The 34 countries.new tokamakITER is designed as a secure source of large-scale free and demanding.
With cost an estimated 25,000 million euros, 90 per cent of the financing of the project has come from the contributions of partners. The european agency F4E, based in Barcelona, is responsible for 45 per cent of this contribution, which reinforces the weight of Spain in the development of ITER.
Spain, on nuclear fusion european
In addition to host the headquarters of the european Agency for DomesticITER,Fusion for Energy (F4E), based in Barcelona, spain has the National Laboratory mergeEnergy research centre, environmental and Technological (CIEMAT)and a strong network of research centres in merger. This is compounded by the construction of the acceleratorIFMIF-DONESin Granada, installation Only that will study the material to be used in the first wall of future fusion reactors.
Spanish companies have achieved a prominent position in international staff of the ITER project, to position itself as a third country in the volume of purchases byIOandF4E. This position has been reached in an environment of high technological competitiveness and without guaranteed financial return.
The Catalogue of Industrial Capacities for big Science Facilitiesprepared by the CDTI, contains detailed information on the technological capabilities of spanish companies in this field.
The strategic role of CDTI Innovation
The CDTI Innovation acts as Industrial liaison office (ILO) in the great Scientific Infrastructure (GICs), in particular to F4E fusion, IO e IFMIF-DONES. Among its main functions are the promotion and dissemination of business opportunities, supervision during the preparation of tenders, partner search, formation of consortia and advice to the internationalization of enterprises.
With the support of CDTI have been funded r & D projects related to the merger by more than 120 million euros, consolidating the position of national businesses in this sector highly technological and strategic.
In accordance with the strategic Plan 2024 – 2027 of CDTI, promoting the participation in major scientific facilities is part of one of its main areas, with the objective of strengthening the international position of the spanish industry high-technology and fostering the transfer of knowledge científico-tecnológico towards productive fabric. The active participation in forums such as the IBF reinforces this vision, promoting international cooperation and development of key industrial capacities to address the energy challenges of the future.
CDTI Innovation
The centre for technological development and innovation, CDTI E.P.E. is a public company under the ministry of Science, innovation and universities, whose goal is the promotion of technological innovation in business. The CDTI mission is to ensure that the business fabric english generates and transform knowledge into growth científico-técnico globally competitive, sustainable and inclusive. By 2024, within the framework of a new strategic plan, the CDTI provided more than $2.3 billion euros of support for business startups and spain.
