The start-up ExoMatter is building an AI-based platform for fast, easy and sustainable material development. With the help of the MatterMine platform, the customer receives a quick overview of the materials in question..
AI-based platform for the development of sustainable materials
The first start-up ExoMatter from the DLR Institute of Future Fuels is setting out to revolutionise materials development. The cloud-based SaaS start-up combines data from databases with its own data and processes it through data mining. Artificial intelligence (AI) is used to close data gaps.
Using the platform, ExoMatter digitalises the important step of material selection and thus significantly shortens the time to market for innovative products. In this way, companies are better equipped to meet the challenges of an increasingly fast-paced world. When selecting materials, not just technical and commercial requirements are taken into account. The focus is also on the environmental compatibility and sustainability of the materials. The service has already been tested and refined in three pilot projects. It is now about to be used commercially for the first time.
ExoMatter is supported by DLR Technology Marketing, has closed its first financing round and is financing itself through its own sales. Its expertise in the field of digital materials research stems from a collaboration between the DLR Institute of Solar Research and the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. The company has a licence agreement with DLR.
