Marvel Fusion

🔬📈 From FOAK to IPO: The future of DeepTech is built today. At Marvel Fusion, we believe that scaling breakthrough technologies like fusion energy requires more than scientific excellence. It demands bold thinking, strategic capital, and a shared vision for impact. That’s why we were excited to join SPRIND - Bundesagentur für Sprunginnovationen and Deutsche Börse for a workshop that brought together an amazing group of peers, including Reverion, C1 Green Chemicals AG, Proxima Fusion, Focused Energy, Ore Energy, and SpiNNcloud to explore the path from breakthrough to IPO. We learned about how to navigate project finance, IPO readiness, and how to bring it all together in the context of the unique challenges of scaling transformative technologies. What emerged was a clear message: Europe’s DeepTech ecosystem is ready to lead - and the capital markets are listening.   We’re proud to be part of this movement, helping shape the future of energy and innovation.Thank you to SPRIND and Deutsche Börse for creating the space for these essential conversations.   #MarvelFusion #FusionEnergy #LaserFusion #DeepTech CC: Moritz von der Linden, Hartmut Ruhl, Heike Freund, Sophia Spitzer

Construction is moving full speed ahead on one of the world’s most powerful laser facilities — our flagship U.S. project in Fort Collins, Colorado. Our team returned to the site to review progress on the $150 million, state-of-the-art facility, developed in partnership with Colorado State University. When completed in 2026, the new Advanced Technology Lasers for Applications and Science (ATLAS) facility will house three cutting-edge laser systems with multi-petawatt peak power, establishing Fort Collins as a global hub for laser-driven fusion research. This milestone marks a major step forward on Marvel Fusion’s technology roadmap as we advance toward building the first prototype fusion power plant in the 2030s. By investing in breakthrough science and U.S. infrastructure, we’re not only accelerating fusion innovation - we're also contributing to America’s future energy security. #MarvelFusion #FusionEnergy

We're proud to advance energy innovation in the U.S. through our latest U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) INFUSE grant, awarded to support cutting-edge laser fusion research in partnership with Colorado State University and TPES.

Today marks a strong signal for Germany’s future as a technology and innovation leader. We are proud to be part of the "Made for Germany" initiative, which was launched today at the Federal Chancellery in Berlin. Together with 61 other leading companies and investors, we are committed to strengthening Germany as a leading economic hub – and to shaping a new, future-focused dialogue between business and government. As a member of the initiative, we are contributing to the pledged investment of 631 billion euros (~733 billion US dollars) in Germany between 2025 and 2028. Marvel Fusion’s mission is bold: 🚀 Building the world’s first laser fusion power plant – a moonshot project for a sovereign, climate-neutral, and affordable energy future, made in Germany. We welcome the initiative as a clear commitment to making Germany a global force in breakthrough technologies. To accelerate progress, we now need: ✅ Partnerships that bring science and industry together at scale ✅ Policy certainty to give private investors the confidence to act ✅ Bold, milestone-based funding to turn deep-tech into real impact Fusion energy is one of the most promising solutions to secure clean, reliable, and sovereign energy for Europe. We’re ready to contribute — and energized by the momentum created today. Thank you to Chancellor @FriedrichMerz and the Federal Government for driving this forward. Let’s make fusion made in Germany.

🚀🚀 Ein großer Schritt für die Laserfusion – und für Marvel Fusion! Gemeinsam mit Staatsminister Markus Blume, zahlreichen Gästen aus Wissenschaft, Industrie und Politik haben wir gestern am CALA (Centre for Advanced Laser Applications) in Garching ein wichtiges neues Kapitel aufgeschlagen: die Eröffnung unserer neuen Experimentalkammer „LION 2“! Sie ermöglicht realitätsnahe Experimente zur Validierung unserer Technologie – und das an einer der weltweit stärksten Laseranlagen zur Erforschung der laserbasierten Fusionsenergie. Ein Meilenstein auf dem Weg zur Kommerzialisierung der Fusionstechnologie – und ein starkes Signal für den Innovationsstandort Bayern. 🤝 Technologie entsteht im Schulterschluss – aus Wissenschaft, Unternehmertum und politischer Unterstützung. Unser Dank gilt der Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München für die starke wissenschaftliche Partnerschaft seit 2022 – und dem Freistaat Bayern, der die Erweiterung der Anlage mit 2,5 Millionen Euro unterstützt hat – zusätzlich zur gleich hohen Investition von Marvel Fusion. Ein besonderes Dankeschön an Markus Blume, der diesen Tag mit uns gefeiert hat – und der mit Weitsicht und Tatkraft zur Beschleunigung der Fusionstechnologie in Deutschland beiträgt. Wir freuen uns auf das, was jetzt kommt. Fusion braucht Mut – und genau den erleben wir hier in Bayern. 🔬⚡ #Laserfusion #DeepTech #Energiewende #CALA #MarvelFusion #Wissenschaft #Industrie #Politik #FusionMadeInGermany Weitere Infos hier: https://lnkd.in/dCSeizkn

Last week German fusion startup Proxima Fusion hit the headlines when it announced it had raised a €130m Series A round — the largest funding round announced for a European fusion startup. At the same time, in the UK, the government pledged £2.5bn for fusion research over the next five years. It's a mix of European energy sovereignty and recent breakthroughs in fusion pushing the sector upwards. Another sign of this is that generalist VCs, usually focused on winning the venture game with software, are now betting on the technology. When did fusion technology ever become a VC case? Now it seems. As with all technology, where hype goes, money follows. If you are curious about the sector, here is a megaread for you – about the current state of fusion and seven key European startups all wanting to be the first to reach commercialisation. https://lnkd.in/dggCUJQ9 Thanks for helping out Filip Felician Dames, Cherry Ventures, Saskia Horsch, Marvel Fusion, Peter Roos, Novatron Fusion Group AB, Martin Kubie, Proxima Fusion, Tokamak Energy, First Light Fusion

Today we had the pleasure of welcoming a delegation from the European Parliament’s ITRE Committee under the lead of Tsvetelina Penkova to the Centre for Advanced Laser Applications (CALA) laser facility in Garching. Together with Siemens Energy, we presented our cutting-edge work in laser-driven fusion and discussed the EU could step up to advance the next energy revolution through fusion energy. The EU needs to be more ambitious and start leading critical technological developments through aligning excellent research with world-class industry. Thank you to the entire delegation for the conversation and your strong interest in science, fusion energy, and European technological leadership. #FusionEnergy #LaserResearch #EuropeanParliament #ITRE #FutureOfEnergy Prof. Dr. Thomas Thiemann Philipp Offenberg Heike Freund Marius Schollmeier Saskia Horsch
