About Kyoto Fusioneering

Kyoto Fusioneering Co., Ltd. (京都フュージョニアリング) is a Kyoto University–originated fusion plant engineering company founded October 1, 2019. Rather than competing on plasma confinement concepts, it supplies the plant “engine” systems every commercial fusion plant needs: gyrotron plasma heating, breeding blankets and heat extraction for power generation, and tritium fuel-cycle systems. Its UNITY program integrates these technologies—UNITY-1 (Kyoto) for blanket/thermal cycle, UNITY-2 (with Canadian Nuclear Laboratories) for fuel cycle, and UNITY-3 (with US DOE/ORNL) for breeding blanket demo. Tokyo HQ plus Kyoto research center; UK subsidiary. Selected for Tokyo SusHi Tech Global Growth Acceleration Program Phase 1 (2026).
