Message from the CEO

Our mission is to realize a sustainable world by enabling the creation of innovative materials. To that end, we have developed services by combining the strengths of Preferred Networks' AI technology and computing infrastructure, and ENEOS' knowledge and know-how in the chemical field.

While computational chemistry has achieved great results, it has traditionally faced significant challenges: calculations are time-consuming, methods require problem-specific specialization, and dedicated high-performance computing environments are essential. As a cloud service, our general-purpose atomic-level simulator, Matlantis™, overcomes these hurdles. It features a high-speed, universal calculation engine and is accessible directly from a browser, eliminating the hassle of environmental setup. We believe that Matlantis will not only help to clarify experimental results in materials development, but also to discover and invent new materials and elucidate unknown principles.

We are committed to providing materials researchers around the world with unprecedented and powerful tools to help them discover the revolutionary materials that can change the future of the world for the better.
