Details of the next ITER Business Forum have been announced. The event will be held in Marseille between 25 March and 27 March.

It will be a prime opportunity for UK companies to make business contacts with European and international organisations that are engaged or are interested in the new business opportunities from the ITER project. The event is supported by the ITER Organization, Fusion for Energy and the other ITER Domestic Agencies.

The programme includes:

• An industrial conference on 26 and 27 March 2015 with presentations given by ITER Organization, Domestic Agencies and their main suppliers;
• One to one meetings, scheduled online by companies themselves in advance;
• An optional program of technical tours on 25 March including an ITER site visit;
• A welcome reception on 25 March in the evening and a gala dinner on 26 March at the venue for networking purposes.

The dedicated website http://www.iterbusinessforum.com/ will be open from mid-December for registration.

Dan Mistry of the UK Atomic Energy Authority said: “We hope to have a strong UK presence at this event. So please drop me an email after you’ve registered or contact me if you require further information.”
