Message from the CEO
MISSION
To accelerate materials discovery for a sustainable future
VISION
Power Decisions with Atomistic Insights
Innovative materials have supported and transformed our lives across every era. Matlantis aims to contribute to their creation through computational chemistry and to help build a more sustainable world.
The key lies in the invisible "atomic world." The properties of every material are deeply rooted in how atoms behave. Our atomic-level simulator, built on proprietary technology, captures this behavior with unprecedented speed and precision. Observing phenomena at scales others cannot reach, and drawing insight from them, has long been our strength.
We believe such insight creates value only when it feeds into meaningful decisions. To make that real, we bring the full breadth of what we do—our proprietary technology, our service, and the technical solutions we deliver alongside our customers—to support your R&D. Computation engages tightly with experiments and business realities, and we steadily expand the areas where it shapes decisions.
Faster, more confident decisions, starting from the atom. On the frontier of R&D, we will keep taking on this challenge alongside you.

Representative Profile
Daisuke Okanohara
- CEO of Matlantis Corporation
- Co-founder, Chief Technology Officer Preferred Networks, Inc.
He received his PhD in Information Science and Engineering from the University of Tokyo in 2010. In 2006, while still a graduate student, he co-founded Preferred Infrastructure, Inc., the predecessor to Preferred Networks, with Toru Nishikawa and others. In March 2014, he founded Preferred Networks to accelerate the practical application of AI. As the company's Chief Research Officer, he has led the research, development, and commercialization of core technologies, including generative AI.
Recognizing the innovative potential of AI in materials science, he drove the commercialization of '"Matlantis," a general-purpose atomic-level simulator jointly developed by Preferred Networks and ENEOS. He now serves as President and CEO of Matlantis Corporation, where he aims to revolutionize materials development through computational science.
