A personal post... not about fusion (except maybe of my joints!) I am cycling from Land's End to John O’Groats to raise money in memory of my late mother. We are cycling for the @RuthStraussFdn. Support us here: justgiving.com/page/lejog-ja… #LEJOG2024 #RuthStraussFoundation 🚴‍♂️💨

Excited to share that a Special Issue in the Journal of Fusion Energy, which I had the honour of guest editing, is now live! Read articles from innovative fusion companies and world-leading experts on the future of #fusionenergy!🔥💫
The special issue “The Emergence of Private Fusion Enterprises” provides a window into some of the fusion start-ups and shines a spotlight on the role played by the private sector in sparking a revolutionary shift in fusion energy development. link.springer.com/article/10…

I originally described what I saw as an in-progess paradigm shift in the late 2010s. I documented the impact that private fusion was having on the sector. Today, it is transformed. My view is that, alongside other factors, *mindset* is the most important driver in this shift.
Today, the @FT features insights from our Co-founder and Chief Innovator, @_RJPearson, on the state of play in #fusion - the "paradigm shift" to public-private partnerships - and also about Japan's unique approach to fusion. Read the article here. ft.com/content/77320fbd-5f87…

Very excited about @ARIA_research! A wonderful initiative based on US ARPA-E (itself derived from DARPA). Scope for #fusionenergy to be included? I hope so - given enormous success seen in the US @ARPAE. Public-private partnership is the surest route to innovation success.
Here we go 💥 We’re so excited to introduce ARIA’s first cohort of Programme Directors.
