Description
Florida is on the verge of becoming a hub for one of the greatest scientific and economic opportunities of our time: the emergence of commercial high-temperature superconductivity (HTS). This revolutionary technology has the potential to transform entire industries, including clean energy, cancer treatment, and defense technologies. HTS materials can help address some of the world's most pressing challenges, offering hope for a future filled with limitless, non-polluting electrical power through fusion nuclear reactors, the eradication of cancer, nonpolluting transportation, and more.
The commercialization of nuclear fusion alone is projected to attract over $1 trillion in investments over the next 20 years, and this groundbreaking technology relies on HTS. Currently, the global HTS community is characterized by a disorganized landscape of research, market, and supply chain stakeholders seeking a centralized location. Florida is ideally positioned to become that central hub, unleashing significant economic impact as the epicenter of the global commercial HTS industry.
The Florida HTS Ecosystem is already beginning to expand, with potential partnerships forming with Magnetics Corporation (MagCorp), Florida Polytechnic University (FL Poly), and Faraday Factory Japan. With support from the State of Florida, the creation of a unique commercial superconductivity user facility will drive revenue, foster economic growth, and generate positive industrial impacts, solidifying Florida's position at the forefront of the global superconductivity and magnetism market and supply chain.
