Entalpic and OCP SPS join forces to advance innovation in battery materials and chemical extraction
Paris, 18th September 2025
Entalpic, an AI-driven materials discovery startup, is proud to announce its collaboration with OCP Group, through its Strategic Business Unit Specialty Products & Solutions (SPS) the world’s largest producer of phosphate and derivatives.
The collaboration between Entalpic and OCP SPS aims to advance the applications of lithium iron phosphate (LFP), particularly in cathode materials.
By leveraging advanced AI tools, the teams will work to better understand and optimize the extraction of valuable elements from OCP’s phosphate materials and byproducts, and to explore LFP-related applications across different fields, including energy materials solutions.
Together, OCP SPS and Entalpic are forging new pathways for chemtech innovation, addressing both the future of clean energy and the sustainable use of natural resources.
As part of this partnership, Entalpic is also joining ChemTech x AI, OCP SPS’s newly launched incubator at Station F in Paris, the first program dedicated to the intersection of chemistry and artificial intelligence.
