“We are designing and building a demonstration magnet. The goal is to show representative magnetic field strength, stored energy, and geometry so that we’ve successfully de-risked all of the key challenges in the magnet system.” — Martin Kubie Here’s a look inside the Magnet Development Laboratory at the PSI Paul Scherrer Institut in Switzerland, where the Proxima magnet team, including Nicolò Riva and Sofia Viarengo, are working on our Stellarator Model Coil (SMC) at Switzerland Innovation Park Innovaare in collaboration with Bernhard Auchmann’s CHART-MagDev group:

We need new technology champions for Europe. That’s the message that our CEO Francesco Sciortino and other founders shared at Founders Forum Group this week. Francesco spoke about catalyzing Europe’s #deeptech revolution together with Seth Bannon of Fifty Years and Vaitea Cowan of Enapter. At Proxima, we’re growing rapidly alongside an evolving European ecosystem, working to accelerate progress toward commercial #fusionenergy. We believe the key ingredient needed is uncompromising ambition, and that a rising tide lifts all boats when it comes to scaling deep tech solutions across Europe. The future belongs to those who build it—and we’re building fast.

Great to speak remotely at Wired Italia's #WNF24 Next Fest in Rovereto! A healthy conversation about the promise of #fusionenergy, its opportunities for massive decarbonization and energy sovereignty, and its economic proposition for European competitiveness. Fusion won't contribute to #cleanenergy production in the 2020s, but I firmly believe that the first fusion power plants will be brought online in the 2030s—and that will be an epochal change for humanity. We have every intention of being there at the forefront with Proxima Fusion! Thanks to Simona Vecchies and the Angèlia Comunicazione team for supporting Proxima's outreach efforts in Italy! 🇮🇹 Read more: https://lnkd.in/eqDE36pd

This year's Bits & Pretzels has brought together thousands of European founders and investors in our home city of Munich. 🥨 Proxima Co-Founder and COO Dr. Lucio Milanese made two on-stage appearances at #Bits24, speaking on the state of the #startup ecosystem alongside Dr. Sarah Theinert, Dr. Anna Hocker, and Dr. Gero Decker and chatting about new pathways to funding with Dr. Anne-Kathrin Hinze of DTCF | DeepTech & Climate Fonds. We're proud to be part of such a dynamic community, connecting and exchanging ideas with fellow innovators who are shaping the future of technology in Europe. 🇪🇺

It was wonderful to welcome Verena Pausder, Chair of the German Startup Association, to the Proxima offices in Munich, where we shared our ambitious roadmap for a more sustainable future powered by #fusionenergy. Proxima is proud to be part of Germany’s thriving #startup ecosystem as a member of Startup-Verband and a contributor to #Innovationsagenda2030. We are inspired by Verena’s belief that #deeptech startups like Proxima have a vital role to play in driving new economic opportunities and pushing the boundaries of what’s possible for European innovation. We are grateful for the support of ecosystem leaders like Verena as we work toward putting fusion on the grid—together, we can accelerate the energy transition and build on Europe’s greatest technology strengths.

We're building on the groundbreaking results of the Wendelstein 7-X (W7-X) experiment, the world's most advanced stellarator at the Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics. Proxima Co-Founder and Head of Labs Jonathan Schilling explains how W7-X has repeatedly broken key performance records to demonstrate continuous steady-state operation, setting the stage for commercial #fusionenergy and laying the groundwork for our path to the first #stellarator fusion power plant:

Great to meet with you, Tobias Gotthardt —we were heartened to hear you share Proxima Fusion's conviction that fusion will be on the grid within the 2030s. Also grateful for the Bavarian Government’s investment in fusion through the new Bavarian Fusion Cluster 👏
#MissionKernfusion: schon seit 1960 ist Bayern in Garching Heimat und Herz der europäischen Fusionsforschung - heute schaffen wir Freiraum für innovativ-ambitionierte Entwicklung und Unternehmen. Eines davon ist #ProximaFusion als Ausgründung des Max-Planck-Instituts für Plasmaphysik (IPP) in Garching, das sich der Entwicklung eines Stellerator-Kraftwerks verschrieben hat. Gutes Gespräch mit CEO Dr. Francesco Sciortino und Public Policy Lead Hannes Vogel - Visionskraft, die beeindruckt. Brauchen entschlossen europäische Fusions-Strategie mit Bayern in der Pole Position. #EuerTobias

Over the past few weeks, we have begun to introduce Proxima’s stellarator #fusion power plant concept to technical communities, including an invited talk at the International Stellarator-Heliotron Workshop (#ISHW) and presentations at the Applied Superconductivity Conference (#ASC) and the Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics (#IPP). Our upcoming paper—a collaborative effort between Proxima and IPP, currently undergoing peer review in a specialist journal—presents a power-plant relevant, high-field QI #stellarator capable of operating in steady state. For the first time, integrated electromagnetic, structural, thermal and neutronics simulations have been applied to a coherent design that balances physics performance and engineering constraints. We look forward to sharing this breakthrough with the wider world. Photo: Proxima Co-Founder and Chief Scientist Jorrit Lion presenting at ISHW in Japan. #fusionenergy #fusionpower #commercialfusion

The Draghi report calls out complacency in the European technology sector. It’s never been more clear that we need a big shake-up in how Europe thinks of innovation. We need ‘urgency’ and ‘concreteness’, as Draghi wrote, and energy technology is one of the key topics to prioritize. We have an admirable culture of critical thinking, but hardly one of entrepreneurship. Right now, we produce some of the world’s best academic research, but as a founder I consistently see skeptical eyebrows raised when it comes to commercialization efforts, whether for fusion or other transformative technologies. The path ahead for Europe demands the aggressive pursuit of opportunities and a willingness to take risks. The Draghi report is an opportunity to reassess European culture around innovation.
