Airora Internal Workings

How we got here

Our Story

We concluded some years ago that existing types of air purifier simply don’t work. So, we set out to create one which does.

We knew from the beginning that Alan, the brilliant mind behind Airora, had invented something really special. ​​Developing Airora’s completely revolutionary Hydroxyl Cascade technology into a range of effective, elegant and convenient products has been a long and challenging journey. But after more than a decade of rigorous research and meticulous development we are incredibly excited to achieve our dream of bringing Airora’s powerful air and surface cleaning technology to people and organisations worldwide.

With Covid-19 still taking a heavy toll on society, and a recent study predicting a three-fold increase in infectious diseases in the coming decades, the need for an effective means of controlling infection transmission has never been greater. Moreover, we have family members living with asthma (which affects more than 250M people worldwide), and we saw that this technology could bring much needed relief to people living with chronic allergies and breathing problems.

We are a small team, but determined to make a big difference!

We appreciate your support, and encourage you to spread the word about Airora.

Thank you!
