Industrial partners join the fusion programme
Participants include Hazama Ando, Fuji Electric, Fujikura and Tokyo Gas, alongside a dedicated ECrowd NEXT fund, Urata, KKT and Kepple Group. Hazama Ando’s previously announced July investment is included in this close.
The company’s development programme links a demonstration device with plans for a first power-generating plant in the 2030s. Its reported lifetime financing of ¥13.05bn also includes loans and grants, making it broader than the equity raised in this Series B.
