“We combine polymer science and AI, but this is not another AI wrapper. Behind it are physics-based models and quantum simulations that predict how a polymer will behave before it is ever made.”

polySCOUT is an AI company for biobased polymer design. We start from the requirement, not the molecule, matching biobased materials to your performance requirements and market needs. Conventional polymer development starts from what already exists and searches outward. We flip that. You bring the properties and the application you need; our physics-informed AI and inverse design engine work back to a shortlist of validated biobased polymer candidates, built on industrially available building blocks. Every candidate is proven in the lab, closing the loop from data to AI to design to physical material. polySCOUT is an independent company and a spin-out from TNO, the Dutch organisation for applied research, which holds an equity stake. Science-based. AI-driven. Lab-proven.
