The meeting
At Equipe Solar Brasil, four students found a shared purpose: creating Brazilian technology powered by clean energy.
THE FUSE STORY
From solar energy to applied innovation.
FUSE grew from the experience of turning university knowledge into systems that work in the real world.
01ORIGINS
Born where research meets the world.
Four university students met at Equipe Solar Brasil, an academic initiative of the COPPE/UFRJ Nautical Center dedicated to developing and building solar-powered vessels for competitions.
From drawing board to water, the team learned to integrate mechanics, electronics, energy, telemetry and operations. This hands-on foundation, combined with a drive to build a business around innovation and sustainability, gave rise to FUSE.

02JOURNEY
A journey built by making things happen.
Engineering in competition
National and international competitions turned theory into design, prototypes, testing, operations and continuous learning.
The decision to build a company
At the end of that cycle, the group brought its multidisciplinary experience into a company focused on technological challenges and underserved opportunities.
FUSE today
The foundation built through solar vessels has evolved into R&D projects, ocean technologies, energy, automation and productive transformation.
