The primary objective of Conectus is to strengthen the basis for commercial applications of superconductivity for stakeholders in Europe.
CONECTUS
…is a consortium of European companies with the shared vision that commercialization of superconductivity will translate into significant benefits to economy and society.
…provides a platform for industry to exchange information and to provide a united voice on public policy issues of common interest to superconductivity stakeholders.
CONECTUS MEMBERS
…seek to ensure that the benefits of superconductivity are fully realized by decision-makers in industry, academia and governments.…unite to advocate for key priorities and adequate government support focused on superconductor-related research, development and industrial projects.
