Innova NanoJet Wins UK Enterprise Awards 2026 for Water-Based, Filter-Free Air Purification

Published

on

Innova’s proprietary filter-free NanoJet® technology cleared 93% of airborne bacteria in 10 minutes in NHS-linked laboratory testing using only water — and is one of only two suppliers named to both the disinfection-machine and air-purification lots of the new NHS Supply Chain framework.

GLASGOW, Scotland, July 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Scottish deep-technology company Innova NanoJet Technologies Ltd. has been named Air Purification Technology Innovator of the Year 2026 in SME News’ UK Enterprise Awards, recognising its proprietary NanoJet® platform technology, which takes an active, water-based approach to whole-space air purification rather than relying on conventional filters.

“Our long-term ambition has always been much bigger than creating another air purifier. We believe there is an opportunity to establish an entirely new approach to indoor air purification – one that combines innovation, sustainability and practical real-world performance.” Dr Charles Huang, Founder and Chairman of Innova NanoJet Technologies said “This award gives us further encouragement as we continue developing the technology, building international partnerships and working to bring the benefits of NanoJet® Technology to more people and organisations around the world.”

A Different Approach to Indoor Air Cleaning

Most air purifiers pull room air through a filter; a second group releases ions or oxidants into the room, which the US Environmental Protection Agency notes can generate ozone as a byproduct. Innova NanoJet Technologies Ltd has commercialised a third route: NanoJet® Technology generates trillions of supersonic nano-sized water droplets using twin-fluid air and liquid dynamics. Rather than repelling pollutants as conventional sprays do, the droplets collide with and encapsulate bacteria and contaminants including aerosols, allergens, microorganisms, odours and pollutants, removing them from the air without chemicals. No filter, no chemical, no oxidant byproduct.

“For many years, air purification has largely been associated with localised filtration on-device: air must pass through a filter before contaminants can be removed. Localised filtration has an important role to play, but the next generation of indoor-air-quality solutions must be more active, more rapid, more sustainable and more adaptable to real-world environments.” said Professor Yi Qin, Chief Technology Officer and Co-Founder of Innova NanoJet Technologies.

From Laboratory Testing to Healthcare Procurement

The award follows biovalidation testing conducted between July 2024 and March 2025 at the laboratory of NHS Health Innovation NWC at the Feedwater site, Moreton on Wirral, against the Liverpool Biovalidation Protocol. The challenge organism was Micrococcus luteus, selected because its hardiness, UV tolerance and tendency to form airborne clusters mirror real bioaerosols. Against a bacterial load comparable to typical indoor levels, ten minutes of operation using only water achieved 93% absolute clearance of the whole room; against a load several hundred times higher, operation with 50ppm hypochlorous acid achieved 98% clearance within ten minutes and 99.5% within thirty minutes.

In November 2025, Innova NanoJet was named an awarded supplier on the NHS Supply Chain Environmental Decontamination 2026 framework under both Lot 1 (Misting/Fogging or Aerosol Disinfection Machine) and Lot 4 (Air Purification Systems). The framework runs from March 2026 to March 2028 with possible extension to 2030. In addition, all three NanoJet models have been certified by the California Air Resources Board under Executive Order G-26-116, notified 2 June 2026, in CARB’s “Electronic” category — the classification requiring ozone emissions testing.

The company also holds ISO 9001 (Quality Management), ISO 14001 (Environmental Management) and ISO 45001 (Occupational Health & Safety Management) certification, issued by NQA.

Scaling Manufacturing from Scotland

Innova NanoJet established its first manufacturing facility in the Vale of Leven, West Dunbartonshire. Scottish Enterprise provided a £1.5 million grant toward the company’s investment of almost £9 million in its Scottish operations, which was projected to create 195 jobs over the following years.

The company announced the opening of a NanoJet CDa Mini production line with manufacturing partner Meiban in Malaysia in October 2025, extending production capacity for international markets.

Over the next 12 to 24 months, Innova NanoJet plans to expand its product portfolio, develop international distribution and sector partnerships, and increase adoption across healthcare, education, commercial buildings and residential markets.

Applications in Healthcare and Occupied Indoor Spaces

The technology has potential applications across environments where indoor air quality, environmental hygiene and operational sustainability are increasingly important, including hospitals and healthcare facilities, schools, workplaces, hotels, public buildings and homes.

Strakonice Hospital in the South Bohemian region of the Czech Republic became the first hospital in Central Europe to integrate the NanoJet CDa Pro system, adopting it for its pulmonary department. Hospital spokesperson Kateřina Koželuhová said the device has been widely utilised in the pulmonary department, where it is used daily in patient rooms, corridors, the dining hall, outpatient clinics and examination rooms.

Pegasus Elite Aviation, a Van Nuys, California-based luxury private jet operator, has equipped its entire fleet with the NanoJet CDa system — the first operator in the world to do so.

In January 2026 the company donated 100 NanoJet CDa Pro systems valued at $300,000 to the Orange County Professional Firefighters Association and the Association of Orange County Deputy Sheriffs, with 50 units to each organization.

Dr Chuantao Wang, President and Co-Founder, added “Indoor air quality is a global challenge, and our technology has relevance far beyond any one sector or geography. Scotland and the wider UK provide an exceptional environment for developing deep technology, combining world-class research, engineering expertise and a strong culture of innovation. Our ambition is to take technology developed here in Scotland and build a global platform capable of delivering meaningful health, environmental and commercial impact.”

Personio Is Now a Certified B Corp

Europe’s leading HR and payroll platform for SMEs earns independent verification of its social and environmental commitments

MUNICH, Sept. 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Personio, Europe’s leading HR and payroll platform for small and medium-sized businesses, is now a Certified B Corp. The certification, administered by the global nonprofit B Lab, independently verifies a company’s social and environmental performance, governance, and transparency toward its workers, customers, and community. Personio completed the B Impact Assessment and achieved certification following B Lab’s independent verification process in August 2026. It joins a community of more than 4500 Certified B Corporations across Europe, among them Personio customers such as RECUP, Ecosia, Tomorrow, and Fairphone.

Responsibility toward employees and the wider community has shaped how Personio operates since its early days. This commitment is reflected in Personio’s workforce policies, its approach to responsible governance, and its work helping SMEs navigate Europe’s complex employment and payroll requirements.

That same instinct led Personio to set up the Personio Foundation in 2021, committing one percent of the company’s equity to nonprofits working on climate action and education. On top of the one percent, 15 NPOs globally have already received over €4M in impact grants from the Personio Foundation. This led to 3.3 Million tCO2 carbon stocks protected and 90.000 people provided with access to education.

Personio.org extends this further, giving nonprofits and public-sector organisations discounted access to the platform. The B Corp certification now shows that these values hold up across the whole business.

“Responsibility for all stakeholders, customers, employees and societies is something we’ve thought about at Personio since we founded the company in 2015,” says Hanno Renner, CEO and co-founder of Personio. “What I appreciate about B Corp is how rigorous and independent the review actually is. External reviewers evaluated Personio and we’ve made the cut. Getting here took years, and a lot of effort across the company. That’s what makes me proud.”

“Welcoming Personio to the B Corp movement marks an exciting step forward for sustainable business practices,” says Armelle Duvieusart, Community Lead, B Lab Germany. “By holding themselves accountable to B Lab’s standards of social and environmental impact, Personio demonstrates how European business leaders can actively build a more inclusive and responsible economy.”

The B Impact Assessment under V1.6 evaluates a company’s impact across five areas: governance, workers, community, environment and customers. Certified B Corps are required to make their B Impact score and profile publicly available, supporting transparency and accountability.

About Personio
Personio is Europe’s leading HR and payroll platform, used by more than 16,000 companies employing 1.6 million people. Founded in Munich in 2015, Personio has 6 offices in Europe with more than 1,500 employees. Personio helps small and medium-sized businesses run every part of HR from hiring to payroll, while equipping them to lead their organisations through the AI transformation ahead.
