Focused Energy

Focused Energy is a leading laser-driven fusion company pursuing a promising path to clean, abundant fusion power.

‍

The global company, based in the San Francisco Bay Area and Darmstadt, Germany, has brought together the top scientific and engineering minds using proven technologies to unlock fusion power at commercial scale. Focused Energy is working to unleash the next chapter of economic growth and scientific innovation through the widespread adoption of clean, abundant fusion power.

‍

1. In July 2021 Focused Energy was founded as a technology  spin-off of the University of Darmstadt and National Energetics to commercialize fusion
2. On August 8th, 2021, the “NIF Shot” brought laser-driven fusion to parity with magnetic fusion, providing two viable fusion paths
3. Focused Energy’s world-leading team in laser-driven fusion is the emergent category-killer generating early revenue by technology spin-off “Laser-Driven-Radiation-Source”

In total, Focused Energy has raised more than $175 million in private capital and public grant funding. Additionally, the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) has supported the company's research and development efforts through significant grants.Focused Energy also benefits from five Department of Energy INFUSE Awards. INFUSE awards provide funding to national labs and universities to accelerate private-sector fusion energy development by reducing impediments to collaboration through access to the expertise and unique resources available at DOE facilities.

Focused Energy recently announced a new $65 million laser development facility that will be located in the San Francisco Bay Area to help develop the lasers and global supply chain needed to support commercial fusion at scale.
