 While some companies in the small modualar reactor (SMR) nuclear sector announced key deals with technology providers in 2024, fusion also saw a significant increase in investment buoyed by the need to generate energy for data centers and for wider energy consumption. Over $1.6B venture dollars were committed to fusion in 2024 across a wide range of approaches. Although in the near term, fusion remains further along the commercialization pathway than SMRs, the potential to generate carbon-free, baseload energy with little radioactive waste makes fusion attractive to many investors.
