What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Handelsblatt highlighted several German startups, including Q.ANT, Proxima Fusion, and APHERIS, detailing their technological innovations. Q.ANT uses light instead of electricity for computing, making AI more energy-efficient and independent of the global chip supply chain. Proxima Fusion, based in Munich, raised 411 million euros in private capital in 2026 and is developing fusion power plants. APHERIS, based in Berlin, allows companies to collaboratively train AI models on sensitive data without the data leaving its location.
