ExoMatter helps R&D teams find and evaluate the most promising inorganic crystalline materials faster by replacing traditional trial-and-error screening with data-driven selection. The platform uses artificial intelligence, machine learning, and data-mining to aggregate and enrich public and customer material data, rank candidates with a Materials Screening Engine and ExoMatter Score, and run custom reaction simulations. It is offered as a B2B SaaS product for corporate R&D teams in battery, solar, semiconductor and other industrial materials applications. The company was founded in 2022 as a spin-off from the German Aerospace Center and sells via subscription to enterprise R&D groups.
