3. First Light Fusion

First Light Fusion is a British fusion technology company focused on commercializing fusion energy in a simpler, cost-efficient way, in an inertial fusion approach dubbed as projectile fusion, in which the fuel is compressed by a fast-traveling projectile. 

First Light Fusion achieved fusion in April 2022 using its projectile fusion approach, and a performance improvement rate that has been described as faster than any other fusion approach in the past. The results were independently validated by the UK Atomic Energy Authority.

The company has raised $107 million so far, with top investors being Braavos Capital, Tencent and Oxford Science Enterprises.
