Commercialising Fusion Energy - How small businesses are transforming big science

This edited book provides an overview of the commercialisation of fusion energy technology, giving emphasis to the emerging role of private sector entities. The editors believe there is a need for a good overview of a complex phenomenon that has the potential to transform fusion energy research after decades of leadership by governmental and inter-governmental efforts. The book addresses not only the science and technology of fusion commercialisation, but also the associated innovation management.
