Hyundai Motor Group has become an investor in Commonwealth Fusion Systems during its $1 billion fundraise, first announced in July. The size of Hyundai's stake was not disclosed. The tie-up starts a partnership to explore collaboration on future ARC power plants and on fusion initiatives in Korea.

## Key facts

- The $1 billion round is the largest fusion round since CFS's $1.8 billion Series B in 2021.
- Hyundai's executive vice president Hokeun Chung says the company intends to contribute more than capital.
- Other Asia-Pacific investors in the round include Woori Venture Partners, a Japanese consortium led by Mitsui and Mitsubishi, Temasek and Hostplus.
- Next: complete SPARC assembly in Devens; the ARC plant in Chesterfield County, Virginia, targets power on the grid in the early 2030s.
