Green shoots, AI roots: Responding to crises and building sustainable futures with gen AI

Materiom today announced the launch of Materiom AI — a generative AI chatbot that assists users with discovery of biopolymers, ingredients, and additives for bio-based material development.

Material developers are producing novel bio-based stretch fibers from alfalfa, silkworm proteins, and even discarded milk. The challenge is progressing these innovations from the lab to industrial scale. 

The 2025 Accelerator kicked off last week with an in-person gathering in San Francisco, where founders met with philanthropic leaders, refined their strategies, and built connections that will fuel their missions long after the program ends.
