NT-Tao, an Israeli startup developing nuclear fusion as an alternative energy, raised $22 million in a Series A round of funding led by Delek US – a Fortune 500 downstream energy company – and NextGear Ventures, with additional participation from Honda, OurCrowd and the Grantham Foundation, the lead investor in the company’s seed round. The latest investment round brings NT-Tao’s total funding to $28M.
Israel has always been at the forefront of the development of alternative energies. With little if any natural resources of its own, Israel has been using solar energy since the country’s birth. And today it is a world leader in solar and wind farm developments.
Co-founded by Oded Gour-Lavie, Doron Weinfeld, and Boaz WeinfelNT-TAO declares that its mission is to revolutionize the global energy sector by providing a clean, flexible, and scalable nuclear fusion technology that will enable the world to sustainably meet its energy needs and decarbonization goals. We are committed to bringing this technology to commercialization, and to making a direct impact on energy-security for all future generations.
