Attendees at Saas Monster stage during day two of Collision 2023 at Enercare Centre in Toronto, Canada

A world-first fusion machine is operating just 30 minutes from the Web Summit stage. Fusion is happening now, and Canada is a leader. This session explores how fusion will move from the lab to grid-ready power; the milestones, barriers, and scale-up principles that turn bold science into reliable energy for homes and industry.

From a local first to global power: Scaling fusion

As AI moves from concept to reality, the question is who is best equipped to navigate its complexity. Jen Friel, Founder of Talk Nerdy To Me, explores how neurodivergent thinkers bring a unique advantage in detecting patterns, anomalies, and blind spots in AI systems. She will reframe neurodiversity as a strategic advantage for better, more creative technology.
