Inductosense has been honoured with the prestigious King's Award for Innovation, a significant recognition of the company's contributions to the field of ultrasonic sensing technology. Inductosense is one of 197 organisations nationwide to be recognised with a King's Award for Enterprise this year, marking a major achievement in its journey of innovation and technological advancement.
The company, which designs and manufactures ultrasonic sensing technology to monitor internal corrosion and erosion, was established as a spin-out from the University of Bristol in 2015. The technology behind Inductosense was originally conceived by Dr. Chenghuan Zhong during his PhD research, in collaboration with Professor Anthony Croxford, Professor Paul Wilcox, and Dr. Matt Butcher. Today, the company employs 40 people and has thousands of sensors deployed globally, helping clients to reduce costs and digitise their corrosion monitoring efforts.
Dr. Chenghuan Zhong, Founder and CTO of Inductosense, shared his excitement, saying, “It’s incredibly rewarding to see an invention we developed in the lab now delivering real value to our customers — and to have that impact recognised with a King’s Award!”
The King’s Awards for Enterprise, formerly known as The Queen’s Awards for Enterprise, were renamed in 2023 to reflect His Majesty The King’s desire to continue the legacy of HM Queen Elizabeth II in recognising outstanding UK businesses. Now in its 59th year, the King's Awards programme is the most prestigious business award in the UK, with awardees allowed to use the esteemed King’s Awards Emblem for the next five years.
Inductosense’s recognition highlights the company's continued commitment to innovation, and its success in developing technologies that have a tangible impact on industries worldwide.
