“As our team has grown over the years, we’ve kept adding scientists to it. Ultimately, with early-stage businesses, you’re investing in people because there is very little in the way of financial performance to go on; but you’ve also got to understand the technicalities of the technology and the potential market for it.” - Michael Sidler told David Prosser at Forbes.

⚡Fusion - it's not a question of if, but when⚡ That’s what Minister Bettina Stark-Watzinger of the Federal Ministry of Education and Research, Germany (BMBF) believes, and what Proxima Fusion had the opportunity to showcase when she visited their offices last week. The team presented their simulator-driven engineering approach, HTS magnet technology, and, for the first time, shared exciting AI-driven results. The day culminated in productive discussions about how public-private partnerships and supportive regulatory frameworks can accelerate the mission to bring fusion energy to the European grid. Proxima’s innovative stellarator approach is putting the power in #empoweringGameChangers in the race to make fusion energy commercially viable, and to provide clean, abundant, and affordable energy for all. Since leading their Seed round earlier this year, Harald and Gianmarco have continued to support the team as they gain momentum in tackling Europe’s growing energy challenges. Congratulations to Lucio Milanese, Francesco Sciortino, Jorrit Lion, Jonathan Schilling, and Martin Kubie on the incredible momentum 👏
