SAUDI, BRITAIN FUSION
N - November 12, 2025 - UK-Saudi to boost fusion tech
The agreement will focus on high-temperature superconductors, research collaboration, and national workforce training.
UK-based Tokamak Energy has agreed an international strategic partnership with Saudi Arabia’s King Abdulaziz City for Science and Technology (KACST) during the Future Investment Initiative in Riyadh. The partnership aims to advance and develop national capabilities in fusion energy technologies, including high temperature superconductors (HTS), through a series of future projects. The agreement was signed by Tokamak Energy CEO Warrick Matthews and KACST President Dr Munir Eldesouki.
The partners have committed to explore how they can work together in the following areas:
- Knowledge exchange via joint educational and training programmes to build national competencies in the fields of plasma physics, fusion engineering, and related technologies;
- Joint research and development, including conceptual design, to enable the construction and operation of future fusion energy infrastructure;
- Exploration and application of advanced technologies, with a focus on HTS for various research and industrial applications, including power distribution;
- Enhancing scientific dialogue and strategic partnerships to build a fusion energy ecosystem in Saudi Arabia.
Warrick said: “Our agreement with KACST increases our global presence and provides an exciting framework to work together on the development and application of ground-breaking fusion and HTS technologies in Saudi Arabia,” said Matthews.

BRITISH SPACE FUSION
The Sunbird concept is for the fusion-powered 'tugs' to be permanently based in space, able to dock on to spacecraft and propel them at high speed over vast distances. Pulsar Fusion says it foresees a compact nuclear fusion engine providing both thrust and electrical power for spacecraft, including as much as 2 MW of power on arrival at a destination.
