Entalpic, an innovative startup at the forefront of generative AI technology for materials discovery targeted to the chemical industry, announced today that it has successfully secured €8.5 million in seed funding. This investment is led by Breega, Cathay Innovation & Felicis, alongside contributions and insights from industry and academic advisors Jörg Weiser (ex-Managing Director at Schrödinger), Gilles Wainrib (co-founder at Owkin), Thomas Wolf (CSO and co-founder at Hugging Face), Arnaud Robert (ex C-level at Sanofi), Michal Valko (Principal LLama Engineer at Meta, ex-Deepmind) and Yoshua Bengio (Turing award, founder and scientific director at Mila). Entalpic emerges from a collaboration between researchers at Mila, the world’s premier research lab specializing in machine learning for climate action, and a leading executive from Owkin, a unicorn company renowned for its use of AI in drug discovery. Leveraging this expertise, Entalpic is set to redefine material and molecule discovery for a more sustainable future.

Entalpic’s state-of-the-art AI platform is designed to generate and evaluate new materials and molecules that could replace outdated industrial chemical processes. This platform swiftly formulates and tests chemical hypotheses through a series of automated experiments, enriching the knowledge base with actionable data. By integrating diverse data sources—from numerical quantum simulations and physical lab experiments to academic literature and patents—Entalpic leverages the latest in AI technology, including Large Language Models (LLMs), Active Learning and Graph Neural Networks.
