Who we are

We are a fusion energy startup based in Munich

We believe that fusion has the potential to provide abundant, clean and safe energy. That’s why we are taking the technical approach with the clearest path to grid deployment.

Our Vision

Clean energy,
for good

Enabling human ambitions in a future with fusion energy.

Careers

Help us put fusion energy on the grid

We are tackling the full breadth of stellarator power plant design, focusing on a simulation-first approach. Our goal is to not only demonstrate physics performance and engineering feasibility but also commercial viability for our concept.

We are working with energy companies and key technologies suppliers across Europe to bring this vision to reality.

Behind Proxima

Partners

This is not a journey that we undertake alone. We are working alongside an entire ecosystem: private investors, governments, regulators, suppliers and other fusion companies.
