The Fusion Technology Transfer Demonstrator Projects is a funding initiative aimed at supporting the commercialization and real-world application of fusion technologies through demonstrator projects that advance market readiness and industrial impact.
The program focuses on technology transfer from fusion research to market applications, validation of fusion-derived technologies and methodologies, development of demonstrator projects, advancement of commercial and industrial readiness, cross-sector innovation, and application of fusion know-how in fields such as energy, aerospace, manufacturing, and healthcare.
Fusion for Energy (F4E) and EUROfusion have launched the 2026 Open Call for Fusion Technology Transfer Demonstrator Projects to accelerate the transfer of fusion innovations into market-ready solutions. The initiative is designed to support projects that transform fusion-derived technologies and expertise into practical applications, creating new business opportunities and enabling cross-industry impact.
The call specifically targets demonstrator projects that apply fusion technologies, knowledge, or methodologies to real-world challenges. Applicants are expected to focus on validating use cases, improving market readiness, and demonstrating clear value in industrial environments through applied innovation and development.
The F4E Demonstrator Call supports projects that bring fusion technologies closer to market applications both within and beyond the fusion sector. Under this track, up to two projects will be funded, each receiving up to 50,000 EUR. It is open to European companies and research organisations with a focus on market-oriented applications and commercial potential.
The EUROfusion Demonstrator Call supports projects that transfer fusion technologies and know-how into non-fusion markets. This track funds up to four projects, with each eligible for up to 50,000 EUR. It is also open to European companies and research organisations, with emphasis on the exploitation of fusion research results in external industries.
Additionally, EUROfusion beneficiaries may receive support of up to 25% full-time equivalent, equivalent to three person months for fusion scientists, under the FUTTA work package in accordance with co-funding rules and reimbursement rates.
Selected projects will receive financial support to develop and validate their demonstrators, reduce technological and market risks, and explore new application areas. The program provides an opportunity to apply fusion expertise across multiple industries including energy systems, aerospace technologies, advanced manufacturing, healthcare solutions, and other emerging sectors.
