Marvel Fusion

Major recognition for our Fort Collins operations: The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)’s Fusion Science & Technology Roadmap has named the ATLAS laser facility as a core pillar of the national inertial fusion energy (IFE) strategy — a powerful acknowledgment of the facility we are building with Colorado State University, which represents the largest public-private partnership in inertial fusion. Starting in 2027, the $150 million ATLAS facility in Fort Collins, Colorado, will host Marvel Fusion’s technology demonstrator - featuring two of the world’s most powerful lasers - to validate key technological concepts. ATLAS is also a foundational component of the $16M RISE IFE Hub, where Marvel Fusion is proud to contribute cutting-edge technology and deep technical expertise. #MarvelFusion #InertialFusionEnergy #DOE 📸: Josh Peterson, Ryan McCarty CC: Moritz von der Linden, Heike Freund, Puja Gupta

We’re proud to be part of FusioTile, a government-funded initiative advancing the development of meter-scale pulse compression gratings (PCGs) for next-generation high-power laser systems. Backed with €11 million by the Federal Ministry of Research, Technology and Space (BMFTR), the consortium brings together experts from Marvel Fusion, ZEISS Microoptics, Fraunhofer IOF, Technische Universität Ilmenau, and LensTec Jena GmbH. During the recent consortium meeting, partners reported that the design phase is now nearly complete across all institutions, marking a key transition from conceptual work to practical implementation. Significant progress has also been made in the manufacturing of demonstrators and the construction of experimental setups, underscoring the consortium’s strong momentum toward the next generation of prototypes. Once integrated into 100-joule laser systems, these large-format gratings will help enable future laser-fusion technologies and further strengthen Germany’s leadership in high-power photonics. 🔬 Learn more about the project here: https://lnkd.in/dyyaekdz #MarvelFusion #FusionEnergy CC: Moritz von der Linden, Heike Freund, Hartmut Ruhl, Dr. (Jennifer) Jana Jung

🎉 We’re celebrating 30 years of innovation with Bayern Kapital. This year marks the 30th anniversary of Bayern Kapital — three decades of driving progress, empowering entrepreneurs, and funding pioneering deep tech innovation on our Bavarian home turf and beyond. Our COO, Heike Freund, joined a panel at Bayern Kapital’s anniversary event to discuss what it takes to scale deep tech — from smart funding instruments and innovation-friendly regulation, to building strong talent ecosystems and inspiring courage and curiosity in the next generation. We believe that forward-thinking funding approaches like Bayern Kapital’s are key to attracting and leveraging global capital. They help turn bold ideas into technologies with real-world impact. #MarvelFusion #DeepTech #BayernKapital CC: Moritz von der Linden, Sophia Spitzer

⚡ Yesterday marked an important milestone for Germany’s innovation and fusion energy landscape: the official kick-off event of the German Hightech Agenda, published last summer to position Germany as a global leader in fusion energy and other breakthrough technologies. Led by Federal Minister Dorothee Bär and the Federal Ministry of Research, Technology and Space (BMFTR), the event opened with Chancellor Friedrich Merz's pledge that innovation is the highest priority for the German government. In the field of fusion energy, the Government backs words with action: the recently adopted Fusion Action Plan sends a strong signal of political commitment to transforming Germany’s scientific excellence into industrial leadership — through sustained R&D funding, public-private partnerships and clear regulatory frameworks. That ambition was echoed throughout the event, with EU Commissioner for Startups, Research and Innovation, Ekaterina Zaharieva, highlighting Marvel Fusion as a figurehead for building a European champion in this transformative field. Pioneering a laser-driven fusion approach, Marvel Fusion exemplifies how DeepTech innovation can translate Germany’s R&D strength into scalable, globally competitive industry. The event brought together leaders from government, research, and industry — united by a shared sense of optimism and purpose: to accelerate the next wave of DeepTech innovation in Germany and across Europe. 🚀 #MarvelFusion #DeepTech #FusionEnergy #GermanHightechAgenda CC Moritz von der Linden, Hartmut Ruhl, Heike Freund

🔬📈 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
