The Ljubljana-based cleantech company earns EU Innovation Radar recognition for its chemical-free nanobubble systems serving agriculture, aquaculture, and food production

LJUBLJANA, SLOVENIA / May 16, 2026 / Waboost, a manufacturer of nanobubble water treatment systems, has been named a Key European Innovator by the EU Innovation Radar, a European Commission initiative that identifies and tracks breakthrough technologies emerging from EU-funded research and innovation programs.

The designation recognizes Waboost’s development of ultrafine bubble generators and IoT-enabled water quality systems that improve gas transfer efficiency by up to six times compared to conventional methods, without the use of chemicals. The company’s technology is deployed across agriculture, aquaculture, food and beverage production, wastewater treatment, and sports turf management.

How It Works

Waboost systems produce nanobubbles smaller than 200 nanometers in diameter that remain suspended in water for extended periods, enabling precision delivery of oxygen and other gases directly to plant roots, aquatic environments, and processing water. Unlike conventional aeration or chemical treatment, the bubbles are stable, self-pressurized, and require no additives.

Proven Results Across Industries

Clients across multiple sectors have reported measurable outcomes from Waboost deployments:

  • 15% reduction in fertilizer use at agriculture facilities
  • 100% biofilm and microbial control in food and beverage production, without chemicals
  • 99% reduction of pathogenic microorganisms at sports and recreational water management sites

“Being recognized by the European Commission as a Key European Innovator confirms that nanobubble technology is not a niche solution, it is a scalable answer to some of the most pressing resource challenges in agriculture and water management,” said Boštjan Veronik, Founder of Waboost. “This recognition strengthens our position as we bring this technology to more industries and markets across Europe and beyond.”
