As the first spin-out of the Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics, Proxima Fusion is accelerating a paradigm shift in the energy sector. The Munich-based start-up is building on the pioneering W7-X experiment in Germany and is developing the world's first QI stellarator power plant using high-temperature superconductors. The declared aim is to unlock the universe's ultimate energy source in order to generate continuous and reliable emission-free energy. Engineers and scientists from organisations such as the Max Planck Society, MIT and Google have founded Proxima Fusion 2023 to lead Germany, Europe and the world into a new era of clean energy.
