Each year, the World Economic Forum selects 100 companies that collaborate with political, business, and cultural leaders to address the challenges facing people and the planet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This year, there are 101 startups on the list, 38 of which are from the USA. Another ten startups come from China, followed by India with nine, and Germany with seven. A total of 20 startups come from Europe. The African continent is represented by five companies on the list, and South America with four. Of the seven German startups, four are based in Munich.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The four Munich-based technology pioneers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"\/en\/day\/marvel-fusion\/\">Marvel Fusion<\/a>The Munich-based startup is working on a laser-based fusion technology for energy generation. Marvel Fusion&#039;s technology is designed to enable fusion reactions and energy generation significantly more efficiently than current standards. To achieve this, the startup relies on a special nanostructure of its fuel targets to precisely control the conversion of laser energy into fusion-relevant particles. This means less energy would be required than before to heat the fuel plasma to the temperatures required for the fusion process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"\/en\/day\/planqc\/\">Planqc<\/a> pursues the goal of scaling quantum computers to thousands of qubits and beyond. To achieve this, the startup&#039;s technology builds on the research and technology development of the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics (MPQ) in Munich. At its core is the optical lattice technology developed in the state capital. This technology allows thousands of atoms to be trapped in a crystal of light formed by a single laser beam. Quantum information is stored in the electronic states of strontium atoms. Planqc sees this combination of quantum technologies as having the potential to scale most rapidly to thousands of qubits with superior gate quality, a prerequisite for an industry-relevant quantum advantage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With <a href=\"\/en\/day\/proximal-fusion\/\">Proxima Fusion<\/a> A second Munich-based fusion startup makes it onto the list. The spin-off from the Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics (IPP) pursues the magnet-based fusion approach and works on the principle of optimized quasi-isodynamic (QI) stellarators and high-temperature superconductors. The startup utilizes the results of the Wendelstein 7-X (W7-X) experiment, the world&#039;s largest stellarator at the Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"\/en\/day\/union\/\">Unio Enterprise<\/a> was founded in 2022 as a joint venture between Isar Aerospace, Reflex Aerospace, Mynaric, and SES. The Munich-based startup aims to build Europe&#039;s first sovereign, commercial satellite constellation for fast, high-performance, and secure connectivity. The spacetech company&#039;s primary focus is on the mobility and logistics sectors. Other potential applications include direct communication between companies (B2B) or between companies and public administrations (B2G).<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Once a year, the World Economic Forum (WEF) selects 100 particularly promising startups that develop and implement new technologies and innovations.
