February 2026 saw huge funding rounds: Shine Technologies in the US raised $240 million (and has scored $750 million since 2018), Realta Fusion got $45.5 million in loans and equity, and New Zealand's OpenStar Technologies landed a $21 million government loan.
Governments around the world, including the UK are stepping up support for homegrown fusion tech, showing just how serious everyone is about making this energy breakthrough happen.
