Alqem

Alqem is an AI‑driven materials discovery company founded in Munich and Coimbra. Leveraging a proprietary, massive database of predicted crystalline structures and custom‑trained property models, Alqem uses artificial intelligence to explore the vast, largely untapped space of potential materials. The firm closes the loop between prediction and reality with in‑house synthesis and characterization, validating candidates before commercialization. Its initial focus is on rare‑earth‑free permanent magnets that can operate at high temperatures, aiming to secure supply chains for automotive, wind, robotics, and electronics sectors. Backed by deep expertise in chemistry, physics, and data science, Alqem seeks to usher in the next materials era beyond silicon.
