The award recognises Quantum Science’s success developing its Infiq quantum dots, which efficiently convert light into electrical signals for infrared sensors. This technology allows Quantum Science to manufacture high-performance quantum dots at an affordable price.

Commenting on the win, Dr Hao Pang, CEO and founder of Quantum Science said: "We’re over the moon that Quantum Science’s work with nanomaterials has been recognized by the judges. We know our quantum dots have the potential to change the world – from self-driving cars to security systems and better smartphone cameras, we’re on the cusp of a technological revolution that high-performance quantum dots will push us over."

The Warrington Business Awards were established in 2015 to celebrate business across the Warrington, UK, area. The Innovation category recognizes businesses that have introduced an innovative product within the last two years that demonstrate quantifiable benefits against key performance indicators.
