Quantistry: Revolutionizing Material Discovery with Quantum and AI
From batteries to energy storage, the shift to green technologies demands new sustainable materials at an unprecedented pace. German startup Quantistry fast-tracks material discovery using quantum tech, physics-based simulations, and machine learning. Automating the process sidesteps high costs and slow innovation of classical R&D. With a cloud-based platform, users can determine material properties in simulation, removing much of the trial and error. Recently securing €3mn in funding, including backing from German chemical giant BASF, Quantistry plans to further develop its platform and attract new customers. CEO Marcel Quennet aims to make industrial R&D more accessible and green with simulations, democratising technology. The surge in AI investment sees companies using machines to accelerate the development of medical treatments and fusion energy. Quantistry, founded in 2019, is at the forefront of material discovery, led by experts in computational chemistry and finance.
