FEHRMANN MaterialsX Bridges the Gap Between Academic Research and Industry with AI-Powered MatGPT Classroom

Revolutionizing material science education by connecting university research with industrial applications, transforming academic discoveries into real-world innovations.

Hamburg, Germany, January 2025 – FEHRMANN MaterialsX is reshaping the future of academic research by offering universities specializing in material science free access to their AI-powered platform, MatGPT Classroom. This isn’t just about speeding up research—it’s about connecting academic breakthroughs with real-world industrial applications.

What sets MatGPT Classroom apart isn’t just its AI capabilities. It’s the bridge we’ve built between the knowledge gained in university labs and the practical needs of the industrial world. Many researchers are frustrated, seeing years of work left in the confines of academic journals, never translating into societal impact. MatGPT Classroom addresses this disconnect by providing access not only to a vast array of public data but also to proprietary, industry-relevant insights that aren't available in academic databases.

As Henning Fehrmann, CEO and Chairman of FEHRMANN MaterialsX, points out: “With MatGPT Classroom, universities can go beyond traditional research methods. We’re giving them the tools to make their discoveries relevant in the real world, supporting the creation of industrial value and, ultimately, jobs. This is about empowering researchers to make a tangible difference.”

Through partnerships with prestigious institutions such as University of California, Irvine,  Ohio State University and the Advanced Casting Research Center (ACRC), renowned for their leadership in industrial-focused materials science and engineering, we’re facilitating an unprecedented exchange of knowledge between academia and industry. Researchers and students can now collaborate globally, pushing their findings towards industrial-scale implementation.

In a world where billions are spent on scientific research, too often the results stay locked within academic circles. MatGPT Classroom ensures that these groundbreaking discoveries don’t just gather dust—they find their way into industrial processes, driving innovation and societal progress.
