DuPont Announces Collaboration with Microsoft and NobleAI to Accelerate R&D Innovation with AI

WILMINGTON, Del., Nov. 12, 2026 – DuPont (NYSE: DD) today announced a collaboration with Microsoft and NobleAI to expand access to advanced AI tools and resources, including machine learning that helps its scientists and engineers innovate faster. The collaboration is designed to support DuPont’s innovation by reducing cycle times for delivering customer solutions.

The collaboration brings together DuPont’s deep advanced solutions and application expertise; NobleAI’s Science-Based AI modeling capabilities, powered by its Visualizations, Insights and Predictions (VIP) Platform; and Microsoft Discovery, Microsoft’s enterprise agentic AI platform for R&D. It aims to help DuPont innovators and engineers evaluate potential solutions more rapidly, guide experimentation, and accelerate cycles of learning.

“Our AI and innovation strategy is rooted in giving our scientists and engineers the capabilities and resources to solve the world’s most challenging problems and enable customers to move at today’s pace,” said Marty DeGroot, DuPont Chief Technology Officer. “By combining our R&D experience and expertise with NobleAI’s advanced modeling capabilities, and Microsoft’s agentic AI platform, we are expanding access to digital innovation tools that will help our teams accelerate development, shorten time to market and expand the impact of innovation across our portfolio.”

“For AI to create lasting value, it has to be built on a foundation the enterprise can trust,” said Matt Abbott, DuPont Chief Information Officer. “This collaboration reflects how we are scaling AI at DuPont, with security and governance designed in from the start, so what proves out in one lab can be put to work across the company.”

“DuPont’s researchers are working on so many high-value customer problems, and our Science-Based AI can help them fast-track solutions,” said Alex Wang, CEO of NobleAI. “Microsoft Discovery gives scientists an agentic platform to plan and orchestrate their research, and NobleAI’s VIP Platform powers the scientific modeling that predicts and optimizes. Together, DuPont’s teams can build on the data and expertise they have today, within the workflows they already use, to explore far more ideas in silico, through computer simulation, so physical testing goes to the candidates most worth pursuing.”

“Breakthroughs happen when deep scientific expertise meets the right tools,” said Aseem Datar, Corporate Vice President of Product Innovation for Microsoft Discovery & Quantum. “Microsoft Discovery gives R&D teams an agentic AI platform purpose-built for scientific discovery, connecting their data, models and know-how so they can explore more possibilities with confidence and rigor. By combining DuPont’s advanced solutions leadership with NobleAI’s science-based modeling, we're helping bring new ideas from the lab to the market faster.”
