Proxima Fusion

Proxima Fusion is Europe's fastest-growing fusion startup, focused on building the first generation of fusion power plants using quasi-isodynamic (QI) stellarators. The company aims to provide a robust path to integrating fusion energy into the grid.

Proxima Fusion is best known for its innovative approach to developing quasi-isodynamic (QI) stellarators, which are seen as a promising path to achieving commercial fusion power.

Proxima Fusion targets energy companies and stakeholders in the clean energy sector, aiming to provide them with advanced fusion power solutions that can be integrated into existing energy infrastructures.

Proxima Fusion was co-founded by Dr. Francesco Sciortino and Dr. Lucio Milanese, both of whom have extensive backgrounds in plasma physics and fusion energy.

Proxima Fusion was founded in 2022 as a spin-out from the Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics, building on significant advancements in stellarator research.
