The Trillion-Dollar Race to Automate Scientific Discovery

Newsweek's sponsored industry report brings together more than 70 CEOs, founders and strategy leaders across petrochemicals, specialty chemicals, advanced recycling and materials discovery to unpack how AI, geopolitics and surging demand for critical minerals are reshaping the sector. It frames the next decade as a defining inflection point, where the companies that turn scarcity and disruption into a competitive edge will lead the industry forward. The piece speaks directly to the shift Dunia is built for: AI native, robotics powered discovery meeting the accelerating demand for the materials the modern world runs on.

Sifted featured Dunia Innovations in an analysis on how Anthropic's Claude Science launch is reshaping the AI-for-science landscape. Co-founder and CEO Alexander Hammer was among the founders asked whether the release makes their company obsolete, offering perspective on why Dunia's early bets on proprietary data infrastructure, domain-specific models, and deep digital-physical integration position it distinctly from the layer frontier labs are now entering.

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.
