~~''A brief overview of {{PAGENAME}} here''~~

Focused Energy is a US-German startup that aiming to achieve commercial [[nuclear fusion]] using [[wikipedia:Laser_Inertial_Fusion_Energy|laser intertial fusion energy]].

==Technology==

~~''Describe~~ the ~~underlying science and technology of~~ the ~~startup here~~. ~~Ideally, it should provide~~ a ~~layman introduction of any key differentiators and/or novel or~~ proprietary ~~scientific breakthroughs being commercialised by~~ the startup.''

Focused Energy is developing a commercial nuclear plant architecture for laser fusion energy, building on work done at the [[wikipedia:Lawrence_Livermore_National_Laboratory|Lawrence Livermore National Lab]], a global leader on the concept.

They have also developed a proprietary deuterium-tritium fuel, which the startup claims can increase the energy output 30-fold compared to existing inertial confinement fusion approaches<ref>{{Cite web |title=Pearl™ — Proprietary Fusion Fuel |url=https://www.focused-energy.co/technology/pearl |access-date=2025-11-27 |website=www.focused-energy.co |language=en}}</ref>.

==Leadership & Team==

~~''Describe any notable members of leadership or interesting team composition~~.''

Focused Energy has recruited three key researchers from the [[wikipedia:National_Ignition_Facility|National Ignition Facility]] who helped achieve the first-ever net energy gain in 2022. The achievement is considered a major breakthrough in global progress towards commerical nuclear fusion.
