INX International Ink Co., a global manufacturer of inks and coatings, and chemistry AI company Albert Invent announced a strategic collaboration to digitally transform INX’s research and development operations and enable AI-driven formulation discovery.

Through the collaboration,  INX will deploy Albert Invent’s operating system across its R&D organization to capture experimental knowledge, connect workflows across scientific teams, and build the data foundation required to tap into AI-powered discovery capabilities.

“Digital transformation in R&D isn’t just about implementing software. It’s about changing how knowledge flows across an entire organization,” said Mark Hill, senior vice president of R&D at INX. “The team at Albert are partners we can count on, working closely with our scientists to understand our workflows and implement a system that reflects how our teams actually innovate.”

“Modern materials innovation will increasingly depend on turning experimental knowledge into intelligence,” said Nick Talken, CEO of Albert Invent. “By building an AI-ready R&D infrastructure, INX has taken a huge leap forward when it comes to setting industry standards for innovation. We’re thrilled to be working closely with their team to build an internal environment where discovery can essentially accelerate with every experiment.”
