About Dunia Innovations
Dunia Innovations is a Berlin-based deep-tech company that accelerates the development of new materials using AI and automation. At its core is the autonomously operating laboratory platform IRIS, in which robotics, multimodal AI models and real experiments interact in a closed Design-Make-Test-Analyze cycle. The company develops and tests catalytic and electrochemical materials – such as precious-metal-free catalysts for hydrogen production and CO2 conversion – as well as materials for batteries, semiconductors and photovoltaics. All experiments are conducted under industry-relevant conditions and with a focus on manufacturability (Design for Manufacturing); the company states that it works with development cycles accelerated tenfold and significantly higher throughput compared to conventional laboratories. Cooperations exist, among others, with Valterra Platinum, Hitachi Hi-Tech and Matteco; the business model includes co-development and licensing of discovered material technologies.
