SMART Fusion Energy is a spin-off company from the University of Seville, specifically its Plasma Science and Fusion Technology Laboratory (PSFT) and aims to accelerate the arrival of commercial nuclear fusion through the development of compact, modular, and highly efficient tokamaks.

The company is led by researchers Manuel García Muñoz and Eleonora Viezzer, both professors in the Department of Atomic, Molecular and Nuclear Physics at the University of Seville. The founding team brings decades of experience in the research, design, construction, and operation of magnetic confinement devices, including previous work at the Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics in Germany.

The venture is supported by a strong scientific foundation, drawing on international competitive funding, which includes participation in four projects funded by the European Research Council (ERC).
