About
Discovery Day is an invite-only technical gathering for leaders at the frontier of AI, advanced materials, chemicals, energy, semiconductors, robotics, and industrial R&D. All sessions are held under the Chatham House Rule, so participants can speak openly.
Hosted by Dunia Innovations, the event brings together C-level executives and leading AI researchers to explore how the next generation of materials breakthroughs will be designed, tested, validated, and scaled.
The 2027 edition continues the conversation started at our inaugural Discovery Day: how AI-native discovery systems move from compelling demonstrations to industrial-scale impact.
Simulation, machine learning, robotics, autonomous labs, and high-throughput experimentation are converging into integrated discovery loops.
The opportunity is enormous, but the hard questions remain: data quality, physical validation, manufacturability, reliability, and scale. Discovery Day is built around those questions.
