An International Conference on ITER Business Opportunities organized by the French ITER Industrial Committee and the CEA
(the French Atomic Energy Commission - Commissariat à l'Energie Atomique)

What are the aims of IBF/07?

IBF/07 is an international industrial forum, a meeting-place for future partners in the ITER project: industrialists, research laboratories, Euratom associations and project governance representatives.

IBF/07 has four objectives:

• Establishing contacts between contractors, manufacturers and other actors of the ITER project, via the organization of business meetings, thematic workshops and an industrial exhibition
  
• Disseminate the latest information about the progress of the project and future calls for tender by a series of conferences by senior ITER management
  
• Present an industrial vision of the technological challenges for ITER, during the thematic workshops structured around the principal components and systems of the installation
  
• Promote exchanges between contractors, manufacturers and fusion scientists for ITER : specific technical issues (plasma wall components, blanket, vacuum vessel, safety…) will be addressed during the industrial conference and the sessions of the ICFRM 13. The industrial Forum ITER is organized in synergy with the ICFRM for which many scientists from the fusion community will be present.
