Persium Takes Home the Santander X Global Award 2025

Clean air just got a global spotlight.

We’re incredibly proud to share that Persium is the 2025 Scaleup Category Winner at the Santander X Global Award — a recognition that reinforces our commitment to building breathable cities through intelligent environmental sensing and digital twinning.

The Santander X Global Award is the bank’s flagship international entrepreneurship competition, bringing together national winners from eight countries in three categories: University Projects, Startups, and Scaleups. From national recognition in 2023 to this global milestone, it’s been a journey powered by innovation, purpose, and a shared vision for a cleaner, more resilient future.

At Persium, we believe clean air is a right, not a privilege. And we’ve made it our mission to turn that belief into reality. By combining advanced environmental sensors, machine learning, and digital twin technology, we’re helping governments, businesses, and communities understand and act on air quality data in real time.

This win is not just a moment of pride, it’s a powerful reminder that scalable climate tech solutions are no longer a niche, but a necessity. As urban populations grow and environmental challenges intensify, tools like ours are helping cities around the world make data-driven decisions that improve public health, reduce emissions, and build climate resilience.

We’re thankful to Santander X and the global entrepreneurship community for recognising the work we do, and we’re even more grateful to the people who’ve supported us along the way, our partners, clients, team members, and early believers.

The road ahead is long, but moments like this reaffirm that we’re moving in the right direction.

Let’s keep breathing life into innovation for our cities, for our planet, and for future generations.
