Fairwind is an Italian SME with expertise in special electronic and lighting components in the healthcare and wellness sectors. Following the financial crisis of 2008/2009 and the resulting difficulties within their market area, the company decided to diversify into the lighting sector. They undertook R&D work with LEDs for improving quality of light and air. This led them into an OI collaboration with a local university. Furthermore, thanks to a local lighting cluster network which was involved in an EU-funded project promoting OI in the LED lighting sector, Fairwind came into contact with another SME which allowed them to produce and file for a patent for a hygienizing lamp which improves light conditions and is capable of effective virus and bacteria removal from the atmosphere. The product is currently in the commercialization phase.
