About
SOFT brings together scientists, engineers, and industry representatives working on fusion experiments, test facilities, component development, and materials science. The symposium's technology exhibition offers a place to discuss the engineering challenges standing between today's fusion research and tomorrow's electricity-producing fusion power.

Our multidisciplinary teams support customers in moving fusion technology from early concept to a robust, manufacturable design. Demcon high-tech systems brings decades of experience in big science projects, combining competencies such as multiphysics simulation, superconductivity, thermal hydraulics, plasma physics, and cryogenics.

The challenges we solve

• Extreme environments
  Fusion reactors expose components to high radiation, vacuum, and intense thermal loads. We design and qualify systems that keep performing reliably under these conditions.

• Remote maintenance
  We develop control and digital systems that support safe, autonomous operation and monitoring in areas that are not accessible for people during operation.

• Prototype to product
  We help move fusion technology from early-stage concept to a manufacturable, repeatable design, combining mechatronics, thermal, control, and software expertise.

Connect with us at SOFT 2026
Demcon high-tech systems and Demcon multiphysics will be at SOFT 2026 with a shared booth. Martijn Krijnen and Bryan Verveld are available throughout the symposium to discuss your fusion challenges, whether that is extreme environment components, remote maintenance systems, cryogenics, or multiphysics simulation.

Drop us a message to set up a meeting in advance, or find us at the exhibition.

Project highlight:
Engineering for nuclear environments demands solutions that work without human intervention. In the SMART project, Demcon high-tech systems developed the exposure and harvesting modules for a medical radio-isotope production facility, handling a 3 Megawatt electron beam in a matchbox-sized target, cooled by liquid sodium, and operating fully autonomously in a high-radiation environment.

Producing medical radio-isotopes with minimal nuclear waste

Demcon helps to realize a radically different production method: producing these important isotopes, with minimal nuclear waste.
