“At present, the chemical industry remains dominated by the pre-digital world,” says Susanna Groth of Chemberry. Buyers and manufacturers often meet at trade fairs, where personal contacts are vital. But the signs are pointing to a change. “We want to be the Google of the chemical industry,” says Groth. The Basel-based start-up has created a platform that aims to serve as an interface between manufacturers and processors of chemical constituents.

The technical development of the Chemberry-Plattform will be implemented by computational linguists and software experts from Karakun AG. Learn more about the project in the 2019/11 issue of IT Magazine.
