Fusion Fuel Cluster Schweiz

One point of contact for Switzerland's fusion fuel-cycle industry.

Swiss industry combines historically grown tritium expertise with highly specialized mechanical engineers and materials-processing know-how. Cluster 3 brings the companies behind it together — so you deal with one coordinated network instead of a fragmented supplier search.

What Cluster 3 Offers

Everything a fusion program needs from Swiss industry — coordinated.

Cluster 3 is a project of the Swiss fusion hub, initiated by smolsys AG & MC&P. It exists so companies advancing fusion don't have to piece together suppliers, engineers, and research contacts one by one.

01

Specialized supplier network

Highly specialized suppliers across mechanical engineering, engineering design, and materials processing — mostly smaller, deeply specialized Swiss companies, brought together under one roof.

02

Tritium handling expertise

Switzerland's historically grown tritium-processing know-how, from industrial handling equipment to high-vacuum valves, monitors, and ion chambers.

03

Tender & partner matching

Open tenders relevant to the fusion fuel cycle, matched against member capabilities — with direct company-to-company connections for joint bids.

04

Research-grade verification

Direct lines into Swiss research infrastructure for testing, verification, and process development — not just a supplier list, but a network with lab access behind it.

The Network

Research institutions already working the problem.

Cluster 3 connects Swiss research institutions with specialized industry know-how across the entire fuel-cycle value chain — from neutron sources to breeder-blanket verification labs.

  • ETH Zürich
    Lithium — SINQ++ tests, neutron source
  • PSI
    Neutron source, tritium blanket labs
  • EMPA
    Metallurgy
  • CERN
    Beryllium lab
  • HSLU

Precision-engineered fusion fuel-cycle component

Precision, Not Guesswork

The parts that make tritium handling actually possible.

Behind every fuel-cycle diagram is a component that has to work at cryogenic temperatures, under vacuum, handling a radioactive, highly permeable gas — high-vacuum valves, tritium monitors, ion chambers, beryllium-handling equipment. This is the Swiss precision-engineering layer Cluster 3 makes reachable through one network instead of dozens of individual searches.
