After two days of inspiring discussions and pitches at the INPHO® Venture Summit, Transmutex emerged as the 2024 winner.

Among 124 candidates and 18 finalists, Transmutex has been awarded the Most Promising Company Award at the 2024 INPHO Venture Summit for its groundbreaking approach to sustainable energy. By combining particle accelerator technology with an advanced metal-cooled nuclear core, Transmutex is not only generating carbon-free energy but also addressing one of the greatest challenges in nuclear energy: the safe reduction of nuclear waste. Their technology dramatically cuts the toxic lifetime of nuclear waste from 300,000 years to just 300, while pioneering a sustainable thorium-based fuel cycle.


This achievement reflects INPHO’s commitment to supporting transformative innovations that address critical global challenges.

Transmutex’s win underscores the power of technology to redefine our energy future, aligning with the INPHO mission to bring the most impactful deeptech solutions into the spotlight.
