The Fusion Industrial Liaison Office (FILO) Germany invites fusion-energy industry, stakeholders, experts, and enthusiasts to join the 7th Forum Fusion on 12-13 January, 2026 at the Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics (IPP) in Garching.

FILO Germany is supported by the Federal Ministry for Research, Technology and Space (BMFTR), implemented by VDI Technologiezentrum (VDI TZ) and serves as the central platform connecting the German fusion ecosystem. FILO is a collaborative forum that brings together industry leaders, start-ups, research organisations and developers to advance fusion energy technologies and future power plants.

The portfolio of D.I.S Germany, which combines ion beam technology, vacuum technology, and ultra-high-precision manufacturing, offers key technologies for future fusion facilities.

We are on site in Garching with two colleagues to learn more about national and EU strategies in this area, to get to know some of the start-ups and development companies and to listen more generally about the global fusion landscape and special ongoing programs, for example ITER.

D.I.S Germany GmbH, Pirna and Mikromat GmbH, Dresden are project partners of the Fraunhofer Institute for Materials and Beam Technology IWS in the AM-SHIELD project, which is funded by the Federal Ministry of Research, Technology and Space (BMFTR) via the VDI Technology Center (VDI-TZ). Together with other partners, forward-looking material structures for the hybrid production of radiation resistant components in continuous operation are being developed.
