Efficient and selective catalysis lies at the heart of much of chemistry, enabling the synthesis of molecules and materials with enormous societal and technological impact. Modern in silico tools should allow us to develop new catalysts faster and better than ever before; this contribution discusses the feasibility and potential of computational catalyst design.
