Who are FACCTs?
FACCTs brings innovative computational chemistry solutions to industry. We are a deep-tech start-up with first-class contacts to industry and academia. We are a spin-off from the Max Planck Society, where ORCA – our flagship program – is being developed. ORCA is combining speed & accuracy in quantum chemical calculations. With more than 90.000 academic users it is one of the most popular programs among its competitors.
FACCTs offers computational chemistry solutions to the chemical and pharmaceutical industry – with currently more than 60 industry partners. We aim at democratizing quantum chemical workflows, i.e. enabling scientists and engineers to tap the full potential of quantum chemistry, without the usual need for expert knowledge and experience. That is why we also develop new software solutions that automate and simplify ORCA’s usage (using Python and Web technologies).Where is FACCTs located?
The FACCTs office is located in Cologne, Germany. Currently we work part-time remote, part-time in the office.
