Founded by MNE students with Dr Steven WANG (MNE Assistant Professor) as the group advisor, SBC Technology (former name: Soteria) is notable for its innovative portable negative-pressure ventilation system at the height of the pandemic. The system effectively protects healthcare workers in hospital wards during the COVID-19 surge by reducing aerosol transmission.
With its experience in developing practical solutions during challenging time, the group now focus on ventilation systems and anti-viral membrane material for other high-risk places, especially airports, to minimise the airborne cross-infection risk.
