Our History

In 2020, Accelerated Materials was established with a vision of bringing sustainable, next generation nanomaterials to reality.

 

As a spinout from the University of Cambridge and the Cambridge Centre for Advanced Research and Education in Singapore (CARES), AM is commercializing 8 years of innovations.

 

With facilities in both the United Kingdom and Singapore, the company’s unique international flavor has resulted in an open culture that attracts global talent and global customers.

About AMPLE (Accelerated Manufacturing Platform for Engineered Nanomaterials)

In collaboration with Cambridge CARES and NTUitive, AM is scaling up nanomaterial manufacturing to the 100 kilogram per day scale.

 

This effort is funded by the National Research Foundation’s Central Gap Fund in the Campus for Research Excellence and Technological Enterprise.

Let's collaborate to unlock the full potential of your innovations and shape a brighter future together.
