For centuries, humankind has looked to the stars for inspiration, trying to understand the forces that power the universe. The sun, our closest star, is a continuous fusion reactor, where hydrogen atoms combine to form helium, releasing an enormous amount of energy. If we could replicate this process on Earth, it would change everything.
The stakes could not be higher. Developing fusion energy could provide limitless, clean power with minimal waste and no harmful emissions, reducing reliance on fossil fuels. However, overcoming the technical and financial challenges is a major hurdle, making it a potential game-changer for sustainable energy and climate action.
Proxima Fusion is at the forefront of this ambitious quest. Its mission is building stellarators to power the future. A stellarator is a fusion reactor that uses twisted magnetic fields to stabilize plasma and sustain nuclear fusion. As Europe’s fastest-growing fusion startup Proxima are leveraging decades of research in magnetic confinement fusion, combining advances in stellarator optimization, computational design, and high-temperature superconducting (HTS) magnet technology, with the expertise behind the record-breaking Wendelstein 7-X (W7-X) stellarator at the Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics (IPP). Proxima Fusion is focused not only on theoretical concepts but also creating practical, scalable solutions to provide humanity with clean, safe, and virtually limitless energy.
The world is at a crucial point in the development of fusion energy and Proxima Fusion is at the forefront of leading Europe and the world into a new era of clean and efficient energy, for good.
