Taking each of the technologies, or a sub-set selected for their economic value potential, deliver an understanding of the nature of this commercial potential and the barriers and opportunities open to STEP in stimulating or attracting it to the UK economy.
Lot 2 - UK Industrial Fusion Solutions (UKIFS) seeks to appoint a highly capable and experienced supplier to deliver a strategic global supply chain analysis that is essential to the successful commercial delivery of the STEP Prototype Fusion Plant.
