On November 1, 2025, Helical Fusion was awarded the Grand Winner Prize at TECH PLANTER WORLD in the UK, hosted in London by Leave a Nest Group United Kingdom. This prestigious global DeepTech competition brought together groundbreaking startups from across Asia, Japan, and Europe—and marks the first time a Japanese company has received the Grand Prize.


Our Co-Founder & CEO Takaya Taguchi presented the Helix Program under an unusually clear London sky, introducing our roadmap to commercial fusion and our vision of building steady-state net-power reactors using the Helical Stellarator.
