Helical Fusion Strengthens Governance with New Board Structure to Accelerate Commercialization

Transition to a Board-Structured Company Following Entry into the Integrated Demonstration Device Construction Phase

Helical Fusion announced the appointment of new outside directors and an outside auditor as part of a transition to a board structure. This governance enhancement is designed to support faster decision-making and strengthen strategic oversight as the company enters a new phase of scale-up and industrial advancement.

The company has welcomed two outside directors—Yukihiro Maru (Founder & Group CEO, Leave a Nest) and Shohei Yamada (CEO, SBI Holdings USA)—alongside a newly appointed outside auditor, Hiroshi Sugiyama. These additions bring deep domain expertise spanning scientific research ecosystems, global venture investment, and corporate governance, reinforcing Helical Fusion’s leadership team during a period of expanding activity and partnership. 

This governance enhancement coincides with a period marked by key technical and commercial milestones, including successful demonstrations of high-temperature superconducting technology and the signing of Japan’s first fusion Power Purchase Agreement — signaling growing real-world engagement with fusion energy solutions.
