After winning the prestigious CES Innovation Award at CES Las Vegas and receiving the World Future Award for the most effective air purification technology in New York, the Grenoble-based startup LIFE 01 continues its global expansion. As part of its partnership with the Rhône-Alpes Region and supported by the MINALOGIC competitiveness cluster, LIFE 01 is participating for the first time at GITEX Dubaï, the world’s leading technology event, to present its connected air purifier, Element®.
Fundraising to scale up industrial production
With strong commercial traction (having secured significant clients in 2025, including real estate companies, major corporations, banks, medical offices, nurseries, and nursing homes) and a very performant technology, LIFE 01 is set to finalize its fundraising efforts. Key objectives of its participation at GITEX Dubaï include :
- Strengthening its production capacity
- Structuring its distribution network
- Accelerating deployment in key markets in Europe and the Middle East.
“This fundraising round is crucial to take LIFE 01 to the next level in terms of industrial and commercial scale. We’ve proven the reliability of our technology, received international recognition, and signed major contracts. We’re now ready to scale” explains Thomas FAURE, LIFE 01’s CEO.
A universal solution to air quality challenges
With a current production capacity of 20,000 units per year, LIFE 01 is targeting the smart building sector, as well as healthcare facilities, nurseries, retirement homes, banks, office spaces, and cutting-edge industries.
Its connected air purifier, Element®, addresses a universal need: ensuring safe, pure, and healthy indoor air with no user intervention. Its key features include:
- 100% elimination of health-critical contaminants, far exceeding WHO recommendations.
- Integrated sensors that continuously measure VOCs, CO₂, fine particles, temperature, and humidity.
- Real-time data accessible via a mobile app.
Thanks to its integrated ceiling design, silent operation, and energy efficiency, Element® combines technological performance, user comfort, and elegance. LIFE 01 also offers a comprehensive solution: sizing, installation, maintenance, customization, and operational monitoring.
Beyond air purification, Element® helps optimize building energy performance. With its built-in AI, the device adjusts air flow and ventilation in real time according to needs, reducing energy consumption while maintaining optimal air quality. This intelligent approach also helps lower carbon emissions, enhancing the sustainability and overall efficiency of buildings. On average, buildings equipped with Element® save 10% annually in energy and carbon costs.
With 40 years of expertise in air contamination control, LIFE 01 has created the perfect solution to the challenge of breathing healthy air every day— without needing to worry about it. Its Element® purifier eliminates 100% of critical health contaminants. With continuous filtration and no user intervention, LIFE 01 guarantees healthy air to breathe.
