MATDAT Grows into a Company
Matdat d.o.o. registers as a limited liability company at the Commercial Court in Rijeka, Croatia. Everything started with the idea of providing free resource of material data to students and professors. We are continuing to do so, but now as a company.

Thomson Reuters Contract
Thomson Reuters Data Citation Index (now called the Web of Science by Clarivate) invites MATDAT to become the only material property database provider in its large index of 300+ databases.

SpaceX Becomes MATDAT User
MATDAT boldly goes where no database of material properties has gone before: SpaceX, a private American aerospace manufacturer and space transport services company, signs up as a new user.

Directory Service Added
Directory of Labs, Services & Providers launches as a pilot offering at matdat.com. The directory aims to increase the visibility of labs and service providers and connect them with new customers already looking for their services.

Growth to 500 Users
This was a great milestone for us and a sign that we must be doing at least something right. A lot of positive feedback, especially from doctoral students who found our database very useful for their research.
