BIDMaP celebrates AIMATX, its first startup from BIDMaP research.
BIDMaP is proud to celebrate AIMATX, the first startup to emerge directly from BIDMaP research, recently featured in a Bakar Labs Tenant Spotlight. Founded by BIDMaP faculty and including postdoctoral alumni, AIMATX is developing advanced materials that promise to accelerate clean energy solutions and tackle urgent global challenges. Their story is an inspiring example of how groundbreaking discoveries at the intersection of AI and materials science can move beyond the lab to make a tangible difference in the world.
The launch of AIMATX reflects BIDMaP’s founding vision: to advance not only fundamental science but also to translate discoveries into meaningful applications. “As an institute, BIDMaP was founded not just to do research at the intersection of AI and materials, but with real-world impact in mind,” said Christian Borgs, Faculty Director of BIDMaP. “Both working with existing industries and creating new startups are core goals of our mission, and AIMATX represents the first such startup to emerge from BIDMaP research. We are thrilled to see this vision taking shape.”
AIMATX’s success underscores the strength of BIDMaP’s collaborative community, where students, postdocs, and faculty push the boundaries of science while keeping an eye on transformative applications. It also highlights the critical role of partnerships, such as those with Bakar Labs, in helping new ideas grow into companies positioned to change the future.
