Aqemia

AI drug discovery company combining generative AI with quantum-inspired statistical physics to design novel small molecules.

Aqemia, founded in 2019 and headquartered in Paris, France with a London office, pairs generative AI with a quantum-inspired statistical-physics engine for binding-affinity prediction and de novo small-molecule design, running internal programs alongside pharma partnerships. The company reports roughly 85 employees across multiple sites. No third-party ISO 27001 or SOC 2 attestation was documented on public pages at profiling time; EU data-protection commitments are referenced in its terms — request security evidence for sensitive projects.
