Today the University of Nottingham was proud to host a meeting of the STEP Strategic Collaboration Group, where regional leaders came together to deliberate how to best support a growing fusion industry across the region. The discussion with mayors, council leaders, and chief officers from across the East Midlands and Greater Lincolnshire highlighted how the region's universities can work hand in hand with local government and UKAEA to support the STEP Fusion programme at West Burton. As part of the visit, the SCG received tours of our leading, industry‑aligned research facilities including Omnifactory® and UoN Zero Carbon Innovation Centre, demonstrating the research power available here in the region. Fusion has the potential to deliver abundant clean power, secure our energy future, and drive economic growth. Backed by the government’s £2.5 billion investment, the sector is set to create thousands of jobs and generate global export opportunities worth trillions. At West Burton alone, an independent assessment projects 6,500 jobs – a transformative boost for Bassetlaw and the wider Midlands.
