Nuclear fusion has been the ultimate ‘30 years away’ technology for decades. But is that finally changing?

In this episode, Dr. David Kingham, founder of Tokamak Energy, shares the extraordinary journey of building one of the world's leading nuclear fusion companies from just three scientists and £200,000 to achieving 100 million degree plasma temperatures - the critical threshold for commercial fusion energy.

David reveals how they transformed breakthrough superconductor technology through ingenious Heath Robinson style experiments, navigated the challenges of scaling moonshot Deep Tech, and evolved from pure science project to commercial partnerships with governments worldwide.

Key insights include the power of resource-constrained innovation, building engineering capabilities for unprecedented challenges, and why fusion electricity generation could become reality by 2035.

Essential listening for Deep Tech leaders, energy innovators, and anyone fascinated by how breakthrough technologies transition from laboratory curiosities to commercial realities.
