Dunia is a company focused on accelerating the discovery of electro-active materials for the chemical industry, aiming to support a sustainable future and the energy transition. They achieve this by integrating cutting-edge robotics and advanced algorithms, creating an autonomous laboratory environment named Iris. This platform facilitates a closed-loop Design-Make-Test-Analyze cycle, significantly reducing the R&D timeline for material innovation from years to months and potentially lowering costs. Their mission is to decarbonize chemical processes, with an initial goal of developing the world's first cost-effective CO2 electrolyzer. They work with industries like fuels, plastics, fertilizers, and textiles to innovate carbon-neutral processes and create new markets for sustainable chemicals and fuels.
