Kemchain receives a CDTI NEOTEC grant to develop an AI and neural network hub

Kemchain was selected in CDTI’s NEOTEC 2024 call with a €335,000 project to build an AI hub for chemical and supplier document management.

Kemchain Solutions was selected in the NEOTEC 2024 call of CDTI (Centre for the Development of Industrial Technology), the Spanish public body under the Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities that supports technology-based companies.

The grant funds a €335,000 project running from January 2025 to December 2026 to build an artificial intelligence and neural network hub for chemical and supplier data management.

A highly competitive selection

More than 468 proposals were submitted. Kemchain ranked among the 15 selected projects and among the top 4 artificial intelligence projects, with a score of 86 out of 100.

What is Kemchain’s AI hub?

The project extends the Kemchain Suppliers platform with machine learning models that read, classify and extract data from the documents that move through the chemical supply chain: safety data sheets (SDS), technical data sheets, sustainability certificates, carbon footprint reports and deforestation documentation.

The goal is for quality, regulatory and purchasing teams to stop copying data by hand and focus on reviewing and deciding.

Industry impact

For customers, the hub means automated document management, fewer classification errors and continuous compliance control, not just when an audit comes around.

What has happened since

Update, November 2026. The project’s work is now part of the platform: AI document reading and classification, the Compliance Checker with 139 regulatory lists and carbon footprint calculation in Kemchain Scope 3.

We thank CDTI for its trust. To see the result with your own documents, book a demo.
