Material innovation reimagined: the role of materials acceleration platforms
Material innovation is at a turning point. The future demands solutions that combine superior performance, durability and efficiency with circularity and reduced environmental impact.
How can industries develop materials that not only meet requirements but significantly outperform them, while moving faster, without increasing cost or complexity?
This white paper explores a new, data-driven approach to material design, combining AI, multiscale modelling and high-throughput experimentation.

Content summary
This white paper explains how material development is moving from slow testing to faster, model‑based design. By combining computational material modelling (ICME) and Materials Acceleration Platforms (MAPs), organisations can speed up development, reduce costs and improve material performance.
MAPs enable faster discovery of next‑generation materials tailored to real needs. They support the development of more durable materials for demanding environments, such as wear‑resistant components and advanced coatings. At the same time, they enable new bio-based and functional materials with improved properties and lower reliance on critical raw materials.
This approach opens new possibilities across applications from sustainable plastics and composites to advanced electronics, energy storage and self‑healing material while supporting more efficient use of resources and reducing environmental impact.
