Altrove [ BEST ]

is a French deep-tech startup based in Paris that is revolutionizing materials science by using AI models and lab automation to discover sustainable alternatives to critical inorganic materials. Founded in 2024 by Thibaud Martin and Joonatan Laulainen, the company aims to reduce the West's reliance on vulnerable supply chains—particularly for rare earth elements—by compressing decades of traditional R&D into weeks. Core Technology and "AI-Lab" Platform

: It generates precise "recipes" or synthesis methods for these new materials, moving beyond mere theoretical simulation. altrove

: Rather than inventing from scratch, the platform uses AI and machine-learning interatomic potentials (MLIPs) to filter millions of potential candidates and identify the most stable and synthesizable materials. is a French deep-tech startup based in Paris

: In their Paris facility, they run between 100 and 200 experiments per week . : Rather than inventing from scratch, the platform

: Using X-ray diffractometers and proprietary analysis technology, they characterize outputs and feed data back into their models to iteratively improve accuracy. Strategic Impact and Industrial Applications

: Their materials are designed for use in energy, robotics, automotive, aerospace, and electronics .

Altrove's innovation lies in its end-to-end "AI-Lab" platform, which bridges the gap between theoretical prediction and industrial-scale manufacturing.
