Modular Chemical Robot Farms for Chemistry
Chemify, backed by £7.5m from the Innovation Accelerator, is pioneering on-demand chemical synthesis using chemputation technology. It’s scaling up in Glasgow, aiming to revolutionise chemical production for pharmaceuticals, materials, agriculture, and green energy.
Project Overview
Through £7.5m of funding from the Innovation Accelerator programme, University of Glasgow spin-out Chemify has developed a new era of chemical production through its innovative chemputation technology.
With a growing team of over 120 employees, Chemify is focused on developing automated systems that can synthesise chemicals on demand, controlled entirely by computer algorithms.
Chemify is aiming to scale-up operations to construct a Glasgow based prototype pilot plant, employing over 100 people. This facility will serve as a precursor to a massive ‘chemical giga factory’, capable of producing trillions of unique chemicals on demand for applications ranging from pharmaceuticals and high-value materials to agriculture and green energy.
Chemify’s approach involves digitising chemical processes and developing cutting-edge automation hardware. By integrating these technologies, the company aims to create a scalable, efficient, and cost-effective solution for on-demand chemical synthesis.
