CDI Pte Ltd, established in 2020 as a spin-out from Cambridge Centre for Advanced Research and Education in Singapore (CARES Ltd), develops customer-focused software tools for chemical data intelligence to enhance chemistry R&D. Its core product, CDI-CASP, is a workbench for computer-assisted synthesis planning that supports retrosynthesis, forward synthesis, and exploration of alternative starting materials including bio-based feedstocks and CO2. The software ranks synthetic routes by metrics such as yield and environmental impact, helping clients identify sustainable chemical solutions. CDI also undertakes contract R&D for data-driven chemical product design and new chemical transformations. The company leverages Big Data, machine learning, chemoinformatics, and network mathematics to address sustainability challenges in early-stage reaction planning, targeting bio-feedstock valorisation and circular molecule use. CDI serves clients with tailored SaaS solutions and has demonstrated capabilities in accelerating route scouting and sustainability assessment in chemical synthesis.
