SOUTHLAKE, Texas, April 13, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — American Fusion™ Inc. (OTC: AMFN) (“American Fusion™” or the “Company”), a developer of next-generation fusion energy technologies, reports its participation in the ARPA-E Energy Innovation Summit 2026, one of the world’s leading gatherings of energy innovators, investors, and government stakeholders.
A team of American Fusion™ executives, advisors and technical leaders attended the Summit, where the Company expanded key relationships, advanced its commercialization strategy, and further defined its positioning within the evolving fusion energy landscape.

Hosted by the U.S. Department of Energy’s Advanced Research Projects Agency–Energy (ARPA-E), the Summit brought together leading organizations including TAE Technologies, Commonwealth Fusion Systems, Helion Energy, national laboratories, top-tier universities, and senior government officials, reinforcing the growing focus on fusion as a long-term energy solution.
The Company engaged directly with representatives from the U.S. Department of Energy, national laboratories, and other government-affiliated organizations, as well as prospective customers, suppliers, and industry participants.
During the Summit, American Fusion refined its initial commercial strategy, with a focus on near-term applications in high-demand power environments. The Company has identified data center developers and operators as an initial target customer segment, particularly in connection with behind-the-meter power solutions, the structuring of long-term power purchase agreements, and the delivery of reliable, high-density power for next-generation computing infrastructure.
Richard Hawkins, CEO of American Fusion Inc., added, “Reliable, consistent, and affordable access to power is becoming a central requirement across data infrastructure and high-performance computing. At the same time, securing the underlying components and inputs required to support that delivery is not straightforward. This is not an easy supply chain to establish at scale, and the progress we are making across commercial strategy and supply chain development represents a meaningful step forward.”
In parallel with its commercial strategy, the Company continues to evaluate supply chain relationships necessary to support long-term deployment, including sourcing of key inputs such as helium-3 and deuterium.
The Company is also evaluating a potential dual listing on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange as part of its broader capital markets strategy. Management believes a European market presence would align the Company more closely with prospective suppliers and industrial partners, particularly in regions where helium-3 sourcing and related supply chain opportunities may be more accessible.
American Fusion has established a presence in Europe through a member of its Board of Directors, which the Company believes supports alignment with international stakeholders as it continues to expand its operational and strategic footprint.
Brent Nelson, CEO of Kepler Fusion™ Technologies, added, “As we move from development toward execution, establishing the right supply chain relationships becomes increasingly important. Access to reliable inputs and alignment with the right partners will be key to supporting long-term deployment.”
The ARPA-E Summit provided the Company with direct exposure to current developments across the fusion sector, including engagement with leading developers and emerging technologies. American Fusion’s approach, centered on compact and modular system design, aneutronic fusion pathways, and direct energy conversion, is intended to support scalable deployment across industrial and infrastructure applications.
The ARPA-E Energy Innovation Summit attracts thousands of participants annually, including global energy leaders, institutional investors, policymakers, and research institutions, and serves as a platform for advancing innovation, partnerships, and commercialization pathways across the energy sector.
