At Waboost, research and development are the cornerstone of our mission to transform global water treatment through nanobubble technology. With over 15 years of pioneering experience, we continue to lead the evolution of ultra-fine bubble (UFB) applications by combining in-house engineering with collaborative scientific research.
Our Vision
We envision a world where clean, efficient, and chemical-free water treatment is accessible to every industry. Our R&D strategy is centered on developing scalable, intelligent, and sustainable Ultrafine Bubbles solutions that reduce water and energy use while enhancing environmental and economic value.
Recognized Key Innovator by the European Commission
Waboost has been officially identified as a Key Innovator by the EU Innovation Radar, a recognition given to high-potential organizations delivering cutting-edge technologies in European-funded research.
Highlighted Innovation
“Platform for real-time monitoring of nano-aeration systems with automated cloud-based control” – an intelligent system enabling predictive and adaptive water treatment, particularly in precision agriculture and environmental applications. This recognition underlines Waboost’s role as a leading European innovator in smart, sustainable water technologies, positioning us among the continent’s top deep-tech startups pushing the boundaries of clean water solutions.
Ongoing R&D Focus Areas
Advanced Gas Transfer Efficiency
Engineering proprietary Ultrafine Bubbles generation systems with >90% oxygen transfer efficiency.
AI-Driven Smart Water Platforms
Integrating real-time sensor data, machine learning, and remote control systems for automated water quality optimization.
Multigas Ultrafine Bubbles Applications
Exploring the use of ozone, oxygen, and CO₂ Ultrafine Bubbles in targeted disinfection, oxidation, and nutrient delivery.
Biological Interaction Studies
Understanding the effects of Ultrafine Bubbles on microbial ecosystems, plant physiology, and animal metabolism.
Key Collaborations
University of Ljubljana (Slovenia)
We co-develop fundamental and applied studies on oxygen transfer, water microbiology, and precision agriculture in partnership with leading researchers from UL’s Faculty of Biotechnology and Faculty of Mechanical Engineering.
Validated Impact
Our R&D results are continuously validated by independent institutions and third-party certifications, including the CIF Climate Impact Validation (2023) confirming up to 21 tCO₂eq savings per 100,000 m³ of water treated—demonstrating the environmental potential of Ultrafine Bubbles in reducing fertilizers, pesticides, and water usage.
Pilot Projects & Data Collection
Waboost operates multiple field testbeds in greenhouses, livestock farms, wastewater facilities, and open water bodies across Europe, Asia, and Africa. These installations provide real-time performance data for ongoing product refinement, machine learning model training, and scientific publications.
Commitment to Scientific Integrity
We maintain an open approach to research, frequently collaborating with global universities, presenting at scientific conferences, and sharing data through EU-funded platforms. Our goal is to set the scientific standard for Ultrafine Bubbles research and promote evidence-based deployment worldwide.
