The F4E Technology Development Programme (TDP) was launched in 2024 as one of the branches of the F4E Industrial Policy in line with the Governing Board’s mandate.

According to F4E’s renewed vision, F4E must play a fundamental role for supporting Fusion European Supply Chain and ensure its competitiveness in the promising fusion energy sector. This enhanced scope is to support both the technology needs of F4E projects, and the technological demands recognized in the roadmap to fusion power plants, mitigating risks associated with future European fusion endeavors.

The TDP represents F4E’s commitment to foster a culture of excellence and innovation. By focusing on key enabling technology development, we are ensuring that F4E remains at the cutting edge of fusion technology, contributing to a sustainable energy future and reinforcing Europe’s leadership in this transformative field.

TDP Areas

The Technology Development Programme aims to periodically identify and assess the fusion key enabling technologies (critical technologies mapping) and support European industry to develop and test those technological capacities for ITER, DONES, DEMO and other fusion projects of European interest, such as advanced materials, tritium breeding and handling, plasma heating and exhaust systems, remote handling, superconducting magnets, and diagnostics.
