Sweden welcomes a Strategic Partnership for Fusion Energy

Novatron Fusion Group and Oxford Sigma partner to accelerate the development of fusion power plants in Sweden, combining innovative technologies and advanced materials for reliable industrial solutions.

Please share:

Sweden emerges as a key player in the nuclear energy sector with the announcement of a strategic partnership between Novatron Fusion Group and Oxford Sigma. This agreement, formalized on January 8, 2025, aims to develop fusion power plants based on innovative concepts and specialized materials.

Novatron Fusion Group’s flagship project, NOVATRON 1 (N1), currently under construction at the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) in Stockholm, lies at the heart of this collaboration. This plasma stability test will validate the fundamental scientific principles necessary for the industrialization of the technology.

A Technical and Strategic Partnership

Oxford Sigma brings its expertise in systems engineering, fusion materials development, and critical reactor component design. Novatron Fusion Group, in turn, leverages this cooperation to accelerate the validation of its open magnetic confinement concept and enhance its design capabilities.

Josefin Sjöbohm, project leader at Novatron Fusion Group, stated: “This partnership is crucial to overcoming the technical challenges of our reactor and moving toward an industrial solution.”

A Commitment to Fusion Industrialization

The shared goal of both companies is to provide reliable and scalable solutions for fusion energy to meet industrial demands. Oxford Sigma, with its advanced specialized material manufacturing capabilities, plays a vital role in this technology’s development.

Dr. Alasdair Morrison, Chief Technology Officer at Oxford Sigma, remarked: “This collaboration allows us to fully utilize our expertise in industrial material manufacturing and contribute to the commercialization of fusion energy.”

Peter Roos, CEO of Novatron Fusion Group, added: “Fusion represents a strategic advance in the global energy landscape. This partnership brings together the knowledge and skills needed to transform this technology into a viable industrial solution.”
