Entalpic

Announcing Entalpic’s 8.5m€ seed round co-lead by Breega, Cathay Innovation and Felicis A few months ago, Mathieu Galtier (CEO), Victor Schmidt (CTO) and Alexandre Duval (CSO) launched Entalpic after several years building the technology within academia. To get to the next step of actual CO2 emission removal, we have launched a for-profit company intending to build an AI powerhouse for materials discovery. We are targeting industrial processes with large CO2 emissions and believe that we can contribute to the emergence of greener and cheaper alternatives. Electrocatalysis is our first focus. Our ambition is massive: generative AI will drive a new wave of discoveries in materials science and chemistry. But bringing the output of these combined technologies to market will be hard and we intend to be the best of both worlds. We are an “ML for science” company. We believe in the transformative power of technology and science, and our ambition is to make a positive difference in the climate crisis. Many thanks to Maximilien Bacot from Breega, Jacky Abitbol from Cathay Innovation and Gabriella G. from Felicis for their trust and support. This funding will help us: - Build a world-class team of ML engineers and materials scientists. - Run physical experiments (outsourced) to generate rich datasets. - Train large ML models to generate relevant catalyst candidates. If you want to know more about us, check our website at https://entalpic.ai/ It is just the beginning, but we could not have reached this step without the invaluable help of friends, colleagues, and institutions that have made us who we are today. It is time for public and heartfelt thanks: - To our advisors who have been challenging our ideas Yoshua Bengio, Thomas Wolf, Michal Valko, Xavier Bresson, Jean-Louis Quéguiner, Arnaud Robert, Jörg Weiser, Clémence Bellanger, Henri Delahaye,Théau Peronnin, Camille Marini, and Gilles Wainrib - To the institutions that have trained and educated us: Mines Paris - PSL, CentraleSupélec, École Polytechnique, Ecole normale supérieure, University of Warwick, Inria, UCL and Universite de Montreal. - To Owkin and its co-founders Thomas Clozel and Gilles Wainrib, which our CEO helped grow from tiny startup to AI unicorn, and which gave back so much to us in the form of learnings and friends. - To Mila - Quebec Artificial Intelligence Institute and 21st by CentraleSupélec who are accompanying us in the first steps of our journey With this funding, we feel emboldened that our vision is possible. Let’s get to work!

📢 Entalpic is now officially part of the Mila - Institut québécois d'intelligence artificielle startup community ! After incredible years of research by Victor Schmidt and Alexandre Duval in the labs of David Rolnick and Yoshua Bengio, we are proud to deepen our commitment to academic research and open science. 🤝 This partnership will enable us to continue our mission of leveraging AI to accelerate the discovery of new materials. Our ambition is to scale past research to a business level while maintaining strong ties to the academic world. 🌍⚡ Stay tuned—this is just the beginning of a promising collaboration for greener and smarter industries. ⚛️ Δ #AI4Mat #OpenScience

[DÉCARBONER LA CHIMIE INDUSTRIELLE] Entalpic lève 8,5 millions d'euros pour décarboner la chimie industrielle grâce à sa plateforme d’IA générative ! 💫 🌍   Immense bravo à ses cofondateurs Mathieu Galtier, PDG (CEO), Victor Schmidt, directeur technique (CTO) et Alexandre Duval, directeur scientifique (CSO), diplômé du MScAI - Master of Science in Artificial Intelligence - CentraleSupélec, également titulaire d'un doctorat en machine learning pour les matériaux au sein du laboratoire CVN (CentraleSupélec/Inria).   La startup pionnière de l'IA générative appliquée à la découverte de matériaux pour l'industrie chimique est accompagnée par l'accélérateur 21st by CentraleSupélec depuis cet été.    Elle annonce un financement d'amorçage de 8,5 millions d'euros auprès de Breega, Cathay Innovation et Felicis pour réinventer la découverte de matériaux et de molécules appliqués à la chimie industrielle, pour un avenir plus durable.   La chimie industrielle est un secteur vaste et stratégique, dont le marché atteint plusieurs milliards de dollars et dont l'impact sur l'environnement est considérable. Le processus de production d'ammoniac par exemple, essentiel à la fabrication d'engrais, repose sur un seul processus à fort impact qui représente plus de 1 % des émissions mondiales de CO2. « Notre objectif consiste à forger des partenariats solides avec des acteurs clés de l'industrie. Avec des opérations en France, en Allemagne et au Canada, et des projets d'expansion aux États-Unis et en Asie, nous sommes prêts pour nous développer rapidement, » a déclaré Mathieu Galtier, CEO d'Entalpic. ⚡https://lnkd.in/e433aj5X ⚡   #Impact #ChimieVerte #IA #Décarbonation

🚨 Entalpic has been selected among the 10 most impactful #climate startup of STATION F !!! 🚨 There is strong hope that AI-driven materials discovery for sustainable industries will move the needle on the carbon emissions. ⚛️ 🌿 🧪 Let's stay humble, we know it is just the beginning of our journey, but we are honored to be featured with other promising startups Genomines, Aerleum, Woodoo, Rubicon, Faircraft, CarbonFarm, Geosophy, Syntetica, and KUMULUS - By eeKan . Congrats to all, and let's get to work 🏃♀️
