III, the company announced. The listing makes General Fusion the first publicly listed fusion company, according to the company. The company enters the public markets with approximately US$150 million in cash, inclusive of net transaction proceeds from the private placement and trust capital. This capital is expected to fund the Lawson program through several key technical milestones targeted for completion in 2028, with the goal of demonstrating and de-risking Magnetized Target Fusion technology in a commercially relevant way.

The company was ranked first on TIME's list of the World's Top GreenTech Companies of 2026. General Fusion and Renexia S.p.A., a Toto Group company, announced a framework agreement to advance the commercial deployment of fusion energy technology in Italy.
