💥 Oxford Sigma is tackling energy security and climate change by accelerating the
commercialisation of fusion energy.
Oxford Sigma were established in 2019 to develop novel material solutions and technology for nuclear fusion energy. The challenge is to find materials that will increase the overall fusion plant availability in order that the energy source can become commercial.
'We were seeking people, groups and mentorship locally. When we moved to Harwell we discovered OxLEP Business. We discovered that they had an innovation grant, Go-Create available as part of their Innovation Support for Business (ISfB) programme, which sounded ideal for us, and talking with the team gave us confidence that some of our research and development ideas would be eligible, and we decided to apply.
Without OxLEP Business we would not be where we are today, they have been a key enabler. We would be months behind where we are now without them. We can’t say anything negative about working with OxLEP Business, it’s been good to have the local support. Being able to complete the smaller studies with OxLEP’s support has enabled us to form much bigger grant applications, for million pound grants.'
