UK government signs £30 million deal to build the world’s first prototype fusion power plant by 2040
- Dassault Systèmes secures £30m deal to support UK fusion energy program
- 3DEXPERIENCE platform will enable digital twin modelling, testing and more
- STEP program could create 10k+ jobs – including Dassault opportunities
Dassault Systèmes has teamed up with UK Fusion Energy in a new £30 million deal to support the Spherical Tokamak for Energy Production (STEP) programme, supporting the UK’s effort to build the world’s first prototype fusion power plant by 2040.
Under the new contract, Dassault with provide the project with its 3DEXPERIENCE platform to support digital twins, crucial for developing next-generation power plants and broader fusion research.
The software will also be used for engineers, designers, scientists, manufacturers, construction partners and more to collaborate with the same data and context, ultimately creating a hub for the project. Dassault described the tool as a “standardized and connected engineering environment.”
