Accelerated Materials is a deep-tech company that provides a comprehensive platform for the rapid development and scaling of advanced nanomaterials. Founded in 2020 by Dr. Nicholas Jose, Prof. Alexei Lapkin, Dr. Mikhail Kovalev, and Zara Cheema, the firm spun out of the University of Cambridge and the Cambridge Centre for Advanced Research and Education in Singapore (CARES). The company was established to shorten the typically long research and development cycles required to bring new materials to market.
The company's core offering is an integrated system that combines patented hardware, AI-driven automation software, and expert services. The hardware includes the K-Series, a unique, patented annular microreactor system that offers precise control over nanoparticle synthesis. This is complemented by AMLearn, an adaptive machine learning software platform that automates workflows, integrates laboratory equipment, and optimizes experiments to find the best conditions for material synthesis, thereby creating "self-driving" labs. This integrated approach is designed to significantly reduce the time and cost associated with scaling nanomaterial production from the laboratory to an industrial scale, cutting expenses by up to 90%.
Accelerated Materials serves a wide range of industries, including electronics, pharmaceuticals, coatings, semiconductors, and energy storage. Its business model includes the sale of its hardware and software platforms, licensing of its synthetic protocols, and providing specialized technical services to clients ranging from small-to-medium enterprises to large multinational corporations. In April 2025, the company secured a seed funding round led by UntroD Capital Asia, with participation from SGInnovate and Cambridge Enterprise Ventures, to further develop its platforms and expand its global market reach.
