Give them the funding and they would love to start ..

But there is a german fusion startup about to build a stellarator.

https://www.proximafusion.com/about

(I assumed there was some sort of cooperation with Wendelstein, but found no mentioning of such on a quick look now)

They do cooperate and Jorrit Lion, co-founder of Proxima Fusion, was studying in Greifswald for Wendelstein 7-X, also see https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S092037962...

But they somehow avoid making a visible cooperation reference on the main page, like they do for other research institutions like Jülich. (Or I missed it.) But sure, they definitely reference it in the text, also on the main page.

Maybe there are complicated legal reasons for it.
