Objective
Novatron Fusion Group AB (NFG) is a European deep-tech company developing the NOVATRON, a next-generation mirror-based fusion system -for generation of baseload power and industrial heat - with a patented concave magnetic geometry enabling inherently stable plasma confinement. Founded in 2019, the company has grown to +70 employees and progressed from theory to experimental proof with the successful commissioning of NOVATRON 1 (N1), Europe’s first privately built plasma experiment platform at KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm. NFG now delivers repeatable experimental evidence that the NOVATRON configuration behaves as predicted in line with simulations, with stable plasma formation. This meets TRL 4 achieved and provides the foundation for higher-TRL development, starting this EIC Accelerator at TRL 5. In parallel, NFG is executing its EIC Pathfinder project Tau-EB, developing the Triple Confinement Principle (TCP) combining magnetic confinement, ambipolar plugging, and ponderomotive plugging for efficient fusion-grade confinement. NFG now seeks €2.5M in EIC Accelerator grant funding and €10M in equity to help in advancing the NOVATRON core technology via the N2 platform, the first proof-of-concept of a scalable reactor design (TRL 6/7). The project will complete the design of N2's key subsystems and fuelling strategy, and the EIC equity will be used to develop the N2 deployment site. This is expected to catalyse a €100M equity round to commission a first version of the N2. N2 will translate the validated TRL-5 magnetic configuration into a fully integrated confinement system, establishing the technical and economic blueprint for scalable, fast to build, commercially attractive fusion at competitive levelized cost of electricity. N3 will progress to TRL 8 as a pilot plant demonstrating net power output and providing optional Volumetric Neutron Source capability for materials and system qualification. N4 will represent full-scale commercial deployment.
