Business Opportunities for UK plc from Fusion & ITER Culham Centre for Fusion Energy and UK Trade & Investment are jointly organising the above event at Culham Science Centre on 23 September 2010. The objective is for UK companies to understand the procurement process and opportunities that are arising from the construction of ITER. ITER will take 10 years to build and will require conventional and also specialist engineering expertise. Europe’s domestic agency for ITER procurement, Fusion for Energy (F4E), has over 800M Euros to commit this calendar year and several billions over the coming years. At the event there will be speakers from both F4E and the central ITER Organisation in France, and also from CCFE to cover procurement opportunities at Culham.
