Our Mission

Powering the next step-function change for civilization.

Our Technology

Direct-drive laser fusion.

In 2021, scientists at Lawrence Livermore made history by achieving fusion ignition. This marked the moment fusion shifted from scientific ambition to engineering reality.

Focused Energy is commercializing that breakthrough with the scientists who got us to ignition and the engineers who will deliver fusion energy to the world.

The science is solved. We're building the power plant.
