Job Description

Who we are



DUDE?CHEM is a Green?Chemistry startup born out of the German Cluster of Excellence in Catalysis at TU?Berlin. We are a small but mighty team committed to one mission: building a truly green chemical?pharmaceutical industry. Today the sector consumes more than?13?% of all fossil resources—mostly during manufacturing. We want to change that.



To achieve our goal, we have built a strong IP portfolio and validated our technology with customers, helping them reduce or reuse expensive resources in chemical and pharmaceutical production. We believe digitalization is a key driver for greener, more sustainable processes, which is why every project we run blends data, automation and Green Chemistry. Over the past years, our team has proven these approaches work—creating hard competitive advantages at the very heart of our customers’ value chains.
