Chemicals innovation software
The next decade replaces the industry's basics. PFAS phase-out. Naphtha gives way to green hydrogen and recyclates. Crackers go electric. Winners pick their successor technologies now, while the choice is still theirs.
Track the substitutions before they become deadlines
PFAS phase-outs, feedstock shifts, new sustainability rules. Each one lands in your product lines eventually. Track technologies and regulations on one radar. Prism flags what touches your portfolio. Replacement work starts on your schedule.

Partner with the labs working on your problem
The chemistry you need is being worked on in a university lab or a startup right now. Run submission channels where researchers and startups pitch into your evaluation. Score proposals on fit and maturity. Strong ones enter a project, the rest get an answer.
Keep long research programs on schedule
From lab to plant takes a decade. Delays hide in the handoffs between research, scale-up, and engineering. Map every program on one roadmap with owners, dependencies, and dates. Slippage surfaces while there is still time to fix it.

Stop funding the same research twice
Sites and business units run parallel R&D portfolios. Two labs work the same problem without knowing it. Map every project in one view with owners and status. Duplicates surface, budgets consolidate, and freed capacity goes into the next molecule.
Find the startups not on your radar right now
Your network shapes your deal flow. Conferences, referrals, inbound pitches. The best fit is often a startup that never crossed any of them. ITONICS Prism scans the field around your search areas and flags ventures that match. The blind spot shrinks.
