Alpha Ring, a global fusion technology company, has launched an Asia Roadshow with a visit to Japan – the first stop in a regional tour that will continue to Singapore later this month.
Alpha Ring is headquartered in the U.S., with research labs in the U.S. and Taiwan. The Asia Roadshow marks an important milestone in the company’s mission to further expand its presence across the region and to build partnerships that advance fusion education, research, and innovation. In Japan, senior executives and scientists from the company will meet with leading universities and industry leaders to explore collaboration opportunities and will participate in FusionXInvest (APAC 2025) in Tokyo on 23–24 October.
Fusion energy promises clean, safe, and virtually limitless power. With strong government backing, world-class facilities, and a growing demand for sustainable energy, Japan is positioned to be a leader in global fusion development. For Japan to sustain and grow this leadership it requires a deep pipeline of talent that can support future development across the fusion ecosystem – from science and research, to engineering and commercialization.
Alpha Ring sees Japan as a priority market for deploying its Alpha-E – a world-first compact, tabletop fusion device that enables hands-on research and education. The Alpha-E allows students at high-schools, universities and research institutions to conduct real-time plasma experiments, lowering the barrier to entry for training future scientists and engineers, and accelerating innovation in fusion-related technologies through AI and data analysis.
By introducing the Alpha-E to Japan, Alpha Ring aims to support the next generation of Japanese fusion experts while building long-term collaboration with local partners. With Alpha-E, Japan can:
- Train the next generation of fusion scientists, engineers, and policy experts
- Expand its ecosystem by drawing new talent into fusion research and development
- Maintain its global leadership in fusion while future-proofing against international competition
- Break down the barriers of entry to one of the most complex fields in science
Chairman of Alpha Ring Asia, Peter Kurz, said:
“As the global race toward fusion accelerates, countries that fail to broaden and deepen their talent pipelines risk falling behind. Japan combines world-class science with a clear national commitment to fusion. By bringing the Alpha-E to Japan, we want to empower students and researchers to engage directly with fusion, keep pace with developments and help shape the country’s clean energy future.”
Following Japan, Alpha Ring will continue to Singapore, where the company will engage with academic and industry leaders in fusion to explore applications of the Alpha-E in fusion education and research. Together, these visits reflect Alpha Ring’s commitment to building regional partnerships that will accelerate global progress in fusion energy.
Alpha Ring has existing partnerships with institutions like MIT and University of Oxford. In April this year it hosted the Monaco Clean Fusion Forum which was attended by some of the world’s most influential figures working at the intersection of fusion energy, international policy, education and AI, including Dr. Heizo Takenaka, Japan’s former Minister for Economic and Fiscal Policy.
At the Monaco Clean Fusion Forum, Alpha Ring also unveiled its Fusion AI Data Center, and announced plans to launch the Fusion Learning Machine, the world’s first AI-driven tabletop fusion education device. By advancing along two pillars – a “cloud-intelligence platform” and “instructional lab equipment” – the goal is to bring fusion out of large research institutes and into university and high-school classrooms, creating an ecosystem where science and education are integrated.
