Strong Atomics

Strong Atomics is a venture investor that puts money into nuclear fusion start-ups. Its goal is to help create an additional source of clean, cheap, plentiful and safe energy.

What Strong Atomics does

• Fusion portfolio: investment in several fusion projects, chosen for their chance of producing more energy than they use and pointing towards workable reactors.
• Spread across approaches: because nobody yet knows which route to fusion will succeed first, it backs a range of promising methods.
• Private capital for delivery: it argues that public funding has brought fusion close to success and that private money can now focus on delivering energy.

Customers and markets

Start-ups developing new approaches to fusion power, particularly those that could put electricity on the grid soon enough to matter for climate change.

Key facts

• Focus: Nuclear fusion energy
• Stated view: Renewables, storage and efficiency alone are unlikely to be enough, so some form of nuclear power is needed
