Atinary Selected as a 2026 Technology Pioneer by the World Economic Forum

Atinary, a pioneer in Self-Driving Labs® has been selected as a 2026 Technology Pioneer by the World Economic Forum. The Lausanne-based company joins an elite global group of leading technology start-ups recognized for their transformative potential and commitment to addressing major global challenges.

Atinary is redefining the R&D paradigm by augmenting humans with AI and robotics to accelerate scientific discovery exponentially to tackle planetary challenges in health, energy, and sustainability. Atinary’s cloud-based, code-free, and agentic AI platform, SDLabs®, enables a seamless transition from human-driven R&D to AI-driven and data-driven experimentation, executing the Design-Make-Test-Analyze and Learn (DMTA+L) closed-loop. By replacing traditional, linear experimentation workflows with a more efficient and systematic search of huge combinatorial spaces further enhanced with automated self-driving capabilities, Atinary compresses research and discovery timelines from decades to weeks.

Atinary launched its new Self-Driving Lab in Boston, Massachusetts. The Atinary Lab marks a critical step in moving AI beyond simulation and software into the physical world, executing scientific experiments, enabling faster, more reliable discovery across chemistry, materials, and pharmaceutical R&D. As a Technology Pioneer, Atinary will actively contribute to the Forum’s global platform, engaging with leaders across industries, governments, and civil society to scale the impact of exponential science.

Atinary is the only Swiss-based life sciences company selected by the WEF. Another Swiss company, Metafuels, producing sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) from methanol, was also shortlisted.
