IVA’s 100 List - 2019-2024

Between 2019 and 2024, IVA’s 100 List was published annually to shine a spotlight on cutting‑edge research with the potential to create real value — whether through commercialisation, new business and methods, or positive societal impact. In 2026, an enhanced and updated version of the list will be launched.

Cavitating microbubbles as a next generation water cleaning technology

Global population growth, unequal distribution of water resources reinforced by climate change, and industrial development cause a sharp increase in freshwater demand. Cavitating microbubbles are a novel, ecologically and economically efficient, chemical-free approach to clean water from PFAS, bacteria, and pharmaceutical residues.
