“Take six months of work from nearly 120 people, then distill them into two days of lab visits and presentations to the team and to 11 external, world‑class experts in fusion, HTS and liquid metals. Solicit their feedback and advice for the next six months and beyond.” This perspective from Francesco A. VOLPE, PhD, MBA, CTO and co‑founder of Renaissance Fusion, perfectly captures the spirit of our two‑day deep technical review held last week in Grenoble with our Senior Technical Advisory Committee (STAC), a group of 11 world‑class experts in fusion, HTS technologies, and liquid metals. Over two intense days of lab visits, strategic discussions, and a final wrap-up session, our departments deep-dived into their latest technical milestones. This review covered Renaissance Fusion’s five core technology pillars: fusion science, magnets & cryogenics, stellarator design (SDIC), liquid metals, and HTS. 💡 Impressed by the depth of the exchange, the committee highlighted our significant progress since the last review and praised our team's ability to advance multiple complex technology streams in parallel. 🎤 What the experts said: 🔹 Teresa Puig: “I think Renaissance Fusion has the right attitude to tackle the challenges ahead, with a very enthusiastic team. I want to highlight the openness of the discussions, team commitment, and collaborative spirit throughout the meeting.” 🔹 Rogerio Jorge: “I was pleasantly surprised with the advancement of the HTS coil production, as well as progress with obtaining optimized stellarator designs with coils on cylindrical surfaces. I congratulate the Renaissance Fusion team on the progress made in the last 6 months, and I look forward to seeing what else they come up with in the next six months.” 👉 Francesco Volpe summarized this second STAC meeting as a clear success: “There is no other word than ‘success’ when technological development and challenges are discussed so openly and constructively. A big thank you to the whole team, to the speakers and organizers, and of course to our esteemed STAC. Their insight was as thorough and rigorous as if we were a public R&D institute. We are not, but we build our economic attractiveness on elegant yet scrupulous physics, engineering, and material science.” #FusionEnergy #Stellarator #HTS #DeepTech #Innovation #RenaissanceFusion
