Abstract, iridescent glass sculpture.

Dunia Innovations was cited in Chemical & Engineering News (C&EN), the flagship publication of the American Chemical Society, in a feature examining how self-driving labs are reshaping the way chemistry is done. Co-founder and CEO Alexander Hammer contributed perspective on the role of AI agents in materials discovery, describing them as co-scientists that give human researchers the ability to map unexplored areas of research and hypothesize new solutions at a scale no individual scientist could achieve alone. The piece positions Dunia among a new generation of startups driving the shift toward AI and robotics-led experimentation in chemistry and materials science.

Dunia Innovations Spotlighted in Investment Reports on Bridging AI and Real-World Materials Discovery

Dunia Innovations was featured in Investment Reports, with co-founder and CEO Alexander Hammer discussing the core challenges and vision behind the company's work in AI-driven materials discovery. The interview covers how Dunia's platform IRIS addresses the simulation-to-reality gap and the lab-to-factory gap, the partnerships underway with Valterra Platinum and Hitachi Hi-Tech, and the ambition behind the proposed GigaLab initiative, which aims to generate large-scale real-world datasets from self-driving laboratories to fundamentally change how materials science is done. Investment Reports is distributed through Newsweek and a network of world-class media outlets.
