CuspAI says materials discovery is the ‘single challenge’ holding back industrial progress – and it’s built a foundry of global partners to help solve it.
Cambridge-based start-up CuspAI has launched its ‘AI Materials Foundry’, a global network of data, labs, compute and scientific expertise designed to speed up the discovery of new materials.
More than 45 founding partners have signed on, including Nvidia, Meta, Samsung, Hyundai Motor Group, Henkel, Applied Materials, Tokyo Electron and Lam Research, spanning the US, Asia-Pacific and Europe.
“If we don’t make progress fast, the next 50 years of industrial progress will be constrained by a single challenge: the world needs materials that don’t yet exist,” said co-founders Dr Chad Edwards and Prof Max Welling in a blog post announcing the initiative.
