Innovation in Sciences & Technologies – IsTECH is a Knowledge Lean Innovative Company (KLIC), a technological innovation company founded in 2011 by a group of managers and scientists with over twenty years of experience in management and advanced research fields, including cutting-edge technologies.

IsTECH operates from research to market introduction (“from cradle to grave”) based on innovative, flexible, and scalable methods and models. Their goal is to provide state-of-the-art technological solutions by collaborating with qualified external partners in multidisciplinary projects and initiatives within an integrated supply chain.

Registered in the special register of Innovative SMEs, IsTECH has project areas spanning from new materials to energy, from biotech to the environment. IsTECH has developed and patented the technology and related solutions called “APA – Air Pollution Abatement,” a recognized and validated revolution in the field of Clean Technologies for effective environmental protection and human health, contributing to environmental, social, and economic sustainability following the principles and paradigms of the circular economy.

APA is an intelligent, multi-functional, scalable, and flexible air cleaning platform that doesn’t use filters and is based on the use of simple water. It’s designed for extensive applications in all aspects of life and work, both indoors and outdoors, at the industrial level, in workplaces, and even in urban areas (railway and subway stations, buildings, commercial centers and malls, schools and universities, theaters, museums and cultural sites, healthcare and hospital facilities, ports and airports, transportation hubs, and similar environments).

APA purifies the air we breathe and effectively eliminates particulate matter, IPA, heavy metals, light hydrocarbons, pollen, spores, NOx, SOx, CO2, microorganisms, and harmful substances for human health and the environment, all without using filters or generating waste.

Starting from its pioneering functional implementations developed in collaboration with CUBIT, APA has gradually evolved through targeted paths of open innovation and entrepreneurial risk mitigation. This disruptive innovation has been implemented by the spin-off Is CLEAN AIR Italia S.r.l. (trading under the name “ISCLEANAIR”), which is now industrialized and realized to enable large-scale applications.

Thanks to its versatile and multi-design characteristics, APA also facilitates the development of intelligent solutions that allow for rethinking and redesigning urban spaces, especially through integrated multidisciplinary projects. APA enables the creation of integrated, modular, and highly sustainable projects, particularly in the medical field, from both a financial and operational perspective.

The APA technology represents the flagship project initiated by IsTECH based on a forward-thinking vision that focuses on the added value of innovation and technology applied for tangible economic and social benefit. It was a visionary and daring direction taken about a decade ago, driven by the awareness that “the best way to positively live in a harmonious and congenial future is to create it directly!”
