Fehrmann MaterialsX bridges academia and research with AI-based MatGPT Classroom
January 20, 2025

Fehrmann MaterialsX, a division of the Fehrmann Group headquartered in Hamburg, Germany, has launched its AI-powered platform MatGPT Classroom.
Intended as a bridge between the knowledge gained in university labs and the practical needs of the industrial world, MatGPT Classroom provides access to both public data and proprietary, industry-relevant insights that aren’t available in academic databases.
Henning Fehrmann, CEO and Chairman of Fehrmann MaterialsX, stated, “With MatGPT Classroom, universities can go beyond traditional research methods. We’re giving them the tools to make their discoveries relevant in the real world, supporting the creation of industrial value and, ultimately, jobs. This is about empowering researchers to make a tangible difference.”
Through partnerships with institutions such as University of California, Irvine; Ohio State University and the Advanced Casting Research Center (ACRC), known for their industrial-focused materials science and engineering, Fehrmann intends to facilitate the exchange of knowledge between academia and industry. Researchers and students can now collaborate globally, pushing their findings towards industrial-scale implementation.
