Our Story: From Innovation to Impact

Our Story: From Innovation to Impact

When I first encountered nanobubbles, I realized they weren’t just a technological curiosity—they were the spark for something far greater.

At Waboost, we asked ourselves: What if water could clean, heal, and power itself—without chemicals, without waste, and without compromise?

That question became our mission. And that mission became a movement.

We founded Waboost with the belief that water is not just a utility—it’s a living system. One that deserves smarter treatment and deeper respect. Through Ultrafine Bubbles science, we’ve unlocked a way to restore its natural power, dramatically improving how water is used in agriculture, aquaculture, industry, and beyond.

We are not here to follow the water industry.

We are here to lead it into its next chapter—cleaner, more intelligent, and radically more sustainable.

At Waboost, our mission is simple yet powerful:

To revolutionize water treatment across industries by replacing chemicals and inefficiencies with clean, sustainable, and intelligent Ultrafine Bubbles technology.

We empower our customers—from farmers to municipalities—to produce more with less: less water, less energy, fewer chemicals, and lower costs.

Because better water means better growth, health, and impact.

Technology

Our advanced and smart nanobubble technology injects ultrafine gas bubbles—less than 100 nanometers in size—into water. These bubbles don’t just float, they transform:

  • Disinfect naturally, replacing chlorine or peroxide.

  • Oxygenate deeply, boosting plant and animal health.

  • Improve water quality, removing biofilm, heavy metals, and pathogens.

  • And they do it with >90% gas transfer efficiency, minimal energy, and no harmful residues.

Each Waboost system is modular, automated, and IoT-ready—engineered for seamless integration and remote control through our Smart Water Platform.

Our Impact

We don’t just promise impact—we measure it.
Across hundreds of installations, Waboost systems have already delivered:

  • Up to 60% yield increase in crops

  • Up to 50% reduction in livestock mortality

  • 99.9% reduction in bacterial load in irrigation systems

  • Dramatic reduction of fertilizer, pesticide, and antibiotic use

From greenhouse operators to poultry farmers, our clients experience healthier systems, higher efficiency, and stronger returns.

Sustainability

Water is the planet’s most precious resource. At Waboost, we are committed to protecting it—drop by drop.

Our systems reduce reliance on synthetic chemicals, minimize water waste, and support circular resource use (such as safe water reuse in irrigation).

With validated reductions in CO₂-equivalent emissions and up to 20% less water usage, Waboost enables customers to meet their sustainability targets while improving operational performance.


In 2023, our climate impact forecast was officially validated as positive and significant by the EIT Climate-KIC. We are proud to be recognized as a Key European Innovator by the EU Innovation Radar.
