Realta Fusion was selected to join the Compute for Climate Fellowship cohort, a global program supporting entrepreneurs applying advanced cloud computing and artificial intelligence (AI) to create new solutions that address the climate crisis, the company announced today.

Each of the four participating companies will receive a fully funded proof-of-concept (POC). Realta Fusion seeks to develop a first-of-a-kind plasma stability simulation in the cloud, helping to democratize access for the whole fusion industry.

“The Compute for Climate Fellowship is a testament to the power of collaboration and innovation between research, industry, and startups in addressing climate change,” International Research Centre on Artificial Intelligence (IRCAI) Chief Operating Officer Davor Orlic said in a statement. “We are inspired by the ingenuity and dedication of the winners and look forward to seeing their projects come to fruition.”

The other startups in the cohort are Coastal Carbon, Phytoform Labs and Xatoms.

The program, a collaboration between the IRCAI and Amazon Web Services (AWS), received applications from startups in 24 countries.
