How is AI enabling us to achieve faster time-to-market, higher-quality products, and more successful innovations?
Join us on Thursday, 9 October at the Syensqo booth at the K 2025 for a fascinating discussion about the ways in which AI is transforming research in the chemical industry.
The conversation will take place with:
- Aseem Datar, Vice President Advanced AI and Quantum at Microsoft
- Isabel Wilkinson, Solutions Architect at NVIDIA
- Andrea Browning, Director for Polymers and Soft Matter, Schrödinger
- Greg Mulholland, CEO of Citrine Informatics
- Mike Finelli, Chief Technology and Innovation Officer at Syensqo
They will talk about how AI is transforming innovation in areas like material discovery, reaction optimization, or predictive modeling. They’ll share how AI-driven insights are leading to breakthroughs that traditional methods could not achieve; how AI can amplify — not replace — the expertise of chemists and researchers, and so much more.
AI transforming research and innovation
Before AI, the chemical and materials industries relied on trial and error and it was based on scientists' individual experience and knowledge. Now with AI, we can collect decades of legacy data and combine it to create molecules faster and more efficiently.
This brings discovery from years and months to weeks, days and even hours! And the probability of success is much higher. For example, our Syensqo teams have used AI to generate new polymers from vast molecular libraries, cutting discovery timelines by a factor of three or more.
Meet Syensqo.ai!
At Syensqo, we are reshaping how research happens - making it faster, smarter, and more sustainable. And our Syensqo.ai team is making it happen! It acts like a start-up, putting AI at the heart of everything we do.
Within just a year, Syensqo.ai launched SyGPT, our secure internal AI assistant; and SyGrow, our AI “sales buddy” that has so far unlocked $140M in leads for the company.
Most recently we announced that we’re partnering with Microsoft to accelerate digital innovation and the development of sustainable materials. We are developing partners in the new “Microsoft Discovery” platform, which will be our "Research Buddy” helping us navigate unstructured data, simulate outcomes, and identify the most promising paths forward. This is a leap forward and an opportunity to supercharge our science like never before.
And when we bring AI together with automation, we can achieve results that were unthinkable just a few years ago. In one project, AI helped our Syensqo explorers identify surfactants for a biosourced, biodegradable shampoo formulation. Robots then tested hundreds of combinations in the lab. Within weeks, we had an optimized formulation ready -a process that would normally take months.
At Syensqo, we believe AI is an amplifier of human ingenuity. It helps us find patterns, test new hypotheses, and unlock insights - but the critical thinking, creativity, and decision-making remain in the hands of our scientists, our explorers. It frees up researchers to focus on science, while AI accelerates the rest.
See you at K 2025
We look forward to sharing more with you at K 2025. Join us at our booth to explore how AI is shaping the future of chemistry and discover the breakthroughs it is making possible.
