In 2019, a bold vision took root in Sweden—one that could redefine the future of energy. Inspired by the pioneering ideas of inventor Jan Jäderberg, Novatron Fusion Group (NFG) was founded with a singular mission: to unlock the power of fusion energy and make it a practical, scalable, and sustainable solution for the world’s growing energy needs.
At the heart of NFG’s innovation is the NOVATRON fusion solution, a revolutionary approach to magnetic confinement fusion. Unlike traditional reactor designs that have long struggled with plasma instabilities and confinement, NOVATRON introduces a unique magnetic field configuration and triple-force plugging technology. This design not only stabilizes the plasma but also simplifies the reactor’s architecture, significantly reducing construction, operational, and maintenance costs.
But NFG is more than just a technology company—it’s a community of visionaries. With a team of around 70 experts from 11 different nationalities, NFG brings together world-leading physicists, engineers, technicians, and academics. Their work is centered at the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, where cutting-edge research and development are transforming theoretical breakthroughs into tangible progress.
The company’s first prototype, N1, has already been successfully assembled, with system integration tests completed. This milestone marks the beginning of the next phase in NFG’s roadmap: scaling up toward a full-size power plant. As the first private fusion initiative in Scandinavia to build a complete system device, NFG is not just participating in the fusion race—it’s leading it.
What sets NFG apart is its disruptive simplicity. The NOVATRON design is intentionally streamlined to facilitate industrialization from the outset.
“As far as we know the Novatron is the first magnetic configuration to have concave plasma which is created by an intrinsic growing magnetic field from the centre of the device.”, says Jan Jäderberg, inventor and fusion master mind of Novatron Fusion Group.
Moreover, NOVATRON’s design allows for direct conversion of ionized particles into electricity, enhancing reactor output and enabling continuous operation. The use of High Temperature Superconductor (HTS) magnets further boosts efficiency, allowing the reactor to utilize deuterium-deuterium (DD) fuel—an abundant and cost-effective resource derived from regular water.
These innovations position NFG as a pioneer in the global fusion landscape. Its approach addresses two of humanity’s most urgent challenges: the escalating demand for energy and the existential threat of climate change.
The company’s impact has not gone unnoticed. NFG has garnered attention from both the scientific community and the media, earning recognition for its groundbreaking work and visionary leadership. As the only private fusion venture in the Nordics, NFG is a beacon of innovation in a region known for its commitment to sustainability and technological excellence.
Looking ahead, NFG’s vision is as ambitious as it is inspiring. The company aims to commercialize fusion energy by making NOVATRON reactors a viable alternative to fossil fuels and intermittent renewables and is poised to become a cornerstone of the global energy transition.
“The Novatron concept appears to be the missing link.”, says Kenneth Fowler, Professor Emeritus, UC Berkeley, USA.
As the world grapples with the twin crises of energy insecurity and climate change, NFG offers a powerful solution rooted in science, innovation, and collaboration. The road ahead is challenging, but the destination—a world powered by clean, safe, and virtually limitless fusion energy—is within reach.
With its groundbreaking technology, exceptional team, and unwavering commitment to sustainability, Novatron Fusion Group is not just imagining the future of energy— it’s building it.
