Indoor air safety and quality is no longer an abstract concept. It affects people in hospitals, classrooms, hotels, offices, transport hubs, homes and other shared spaces every day. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), air pollution contributes to approximately seven million premature deaths worldwide each year. Approximately 30% of the world's population—around 2.5 billion people—live with allergies or respiratory conditions (World Allergy Organization). Aerosol pathogen transmission drives influenza, RSV, virus outbreaks. Increasing worldwide wildfires produce significant smoke and lead to pollution challenges. Innova NanoJet Technologies Ltd. is addressing these challenges with its proprietary NanoJet® Platform Technology and AirSancta® product systems, based on a water-only, filter-free approach designed to clean indoor air and surfaces actively, rapidly and sustainably — using water instead of disposable filters as the primary purification medium. Founder and Chairman Dr. Charles Huang, President and CoFounder Dr. Chuantao Wang, and CTO Professor Yi Qin share more below. Air Purification Technology Innovator of the Year 2026 “We strive to transform the way people think about clean indoor air and surfaces.” Innova NanoJet Technologies is a UK-based commercial-stage deep technology company developing and commercialising advanced air purification and environmental treatment systems powered by its proprietary NanoJet® Platform Technology. The award recognises the company's pioneering development of NanoJet® Platform Technology, introducing an innovative active whole-space air purification approach that complements conventional filtration while reducing reliance on disposable filters and chemical-intensive processes. Its mission is simple but ambitious: to improve indoor environments through practical innovations that combine scientific rigour, sustainability and real-world usability. The company works across healthcare, education, hospitality, commercial and public premises, and private homes. These settings differ widely, yet they share a growing requirement for indoor spaces that feel cleaner, safer and better protected without the operational burden of continuous high-volume air circulation, frequent filter replacement, chemical-heavy maintenance or hidden consumable costs. Its AirSancta® product series applies NanoJet® Technology to whole-space air and environmental hygiene. Instead of waiting for contaminated air to pass through a filter for localized filtration, the NanoJet® systems generate trillions of supersonic ultra-fine water droplets (approximately 100 nanometres) that disperse through the entire indoor environment. These nano-sized droplets rapidly interact with airborne and surface contaminants, helping to capture, encapsulate and remove particles such as aerosols, allergens, microorganisms, odours, and pollutants from the breathing zone. “For many years, air purification has largely been associated with localized filtration on-device: air must pass through a filter before contaminants can be removed,” said Professor Yi Qin, CTO and Co-Founder. “Localized 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.” Air purification has advanced steadily, but one of the industry's enduring challenges is how to treat occupied indoor spaces in minutes rather than hours. The need is especially visible in healthcare and care settings, schools, offices, hospitality venues and homes, where infection-control concerns, allergy seasons, wildfire smoke, odours and everyday pollutants can quickly undermine confidence in indoor environments. This is where Innova NanoJet Technologies stands apart. NanoJet® Technology enables active whole-space purification, complementing ventilation and filtration while addressing some of their practical limitations. It is particularly relevant in spaces where airflow is complex, contaminants remain suspended, or maintenance time, waste and running costs are significant concerns. Because the technology uses water as its purification medium, it also supports organisations seeking cleaner air with fewer consumables and no chemical burden. The company sees the United Kingdom as an ideal base from which to develop and commercialise deep technologies for global markets. With strong traditions in scientific research, engineering innovation, academic collaboration and high regulatory expectations, the UK provides an environment that pushes deep-tech companies to prioritise evidence, product quality and credibility. Innova NanoJet Technologies has in turn strengthened the UK clean-technology landscape by demonstrating that advanced indoor-air innovation can be developed and commercialised from Scotland for global markets. “Our technology has relevance far beyond one sector or geography,” said Dr. Chuantao Wang, President and Co-Founder. “Indoor air safety and quality is a worldwide challenge, and we believe UK innovation can play an important role in addressing it.” “Our ambition is to build a company that contributes not only commercially but also socially and environmentally: supporting healthier indoor spaces, reducing reliance on consumable-heavy systems, and helping organisations think differently about clean air.” Looking ahead, the next 12–24 months represent an important period of commercial growth, product development and market education for Innova NanoJet Technologies. Over this period, the company plans to accelerate commercial growth, expand its product portfolio, strengthen international partnerships, and increase adoption of AirSancta® solutions across healthcare, education, commercial buildings and residential markets. The company aims to expand the reach of AirSancta® across professional, commercial and residential markets, with particular focus on healthcare, education, public-sector procurement, commercial indoor environments and home air purification. Strategic partnerships will be central to this growth, including distributors, sector specialists, public-sector partners and organisations that share its commitment to better indoor air quality. With growing awareness of airborne risk, sustainability and the limitations of conventional systems, the company sees significant opportunities in the UK and internationally. “Our long-term goal is for NanoJet® Technology and AirSancta® systems to become recognised as a new and trusted category in indoor air purification – one that combines innovation, sustainability and practical realworld performance,” concluded Dr. Charles Huang. “Being recognised as Air Purification Technology Innovator of the Year 2026 is a proud milestone for our company, and we see it as encouragement to keep developing solutions that challenge conventional thinking and deliver practical benefits to real indoor spaces.” Contact: Dr. Chuantao Wang: Chuantao. wang@innova-nanojet.co.uk Company: Innova NanoJet Technologies Ltd Web Address: www.innova-nanojet.co.uk
