There are moments when all the effort, dedication, and day-to-day perseverance are finally recognized — and they mean everything. For Wolf-e Robotics, that moment arrived at the 20th edition of the Club Antreprenor Gala, held at the Palace of the Bucharest Chamber of Commerce and Industry. We are proud to share that our company, 100% Romanian, was honored with the award for setting a new benchmark in smart hygiene for public and private spaces, thanks to our autonomous mobile robot solutions.
We took the stage with both enthusiasm and emotion — because this recognition validates the mission we live every day: to bring real, measurable change through innovation.
“This award is more than a certificate. It represents the people who believe in technology as a real, transformative solution — and in a future that starts now. We’re deeply grateful to our team and to everyone who supports us in our mission to deliver technology where it truly matters.” – Ștefan Toma, CEO Wolf-e Robotics.

A Business Model Centered on Real Needs
Wolf-e Robotics was founded with a clear vision: to transform the way we understand hygiene — from a reactive measure to a preventive, automated, and scalable system. Our product portfolio covers a broad spectrum: from autonomous mobile disinfection robots to air purification devices and smart indoor air quality monitoring sensors. All proudly made in Romania.
The decision to enter the smart UVC disinfection market stemmed from a combination of careful observation and strategic foresight. It wasn’t just a response to the pandemic, but a proactive step toward meeting the long-term demand for effective and autonomous hygiene solutions. We identified a market gap: manual disinfection is not only costly but also prone to error. By combining UVC technology with current systems, we aimed to radically improve the way hygiene is managed. Our goal was never to just sell devices — but to set a new standard for smart hygiene in both public and private spaces.
More than products, we offer integrated, subscription-based services that deliver predictability, real-time data, and full traceability. Through our innovative “clean air as a service” model, clients benefit from top-tier air purification without the burden of upfront investments. It’s a practical solution for schools, hospitals, medical offices, hotels, restaurants, offices, and commercial spaces — wherever health is no longer optional, but a daily responsibility.
Wolf-e Robotics: Growing Locally, Expanding Globally
In Romania, we continue to strengthen our market position through strategic partnerships with distributors and specialized integrators. To date, we’ve implemented our technologies in over 50 hospitals nationwide. The positive feedback from clients and end-users drives us to move forward and consolidate our status as Romania’s leader in autonomous disinfection solutions.
Internationally, we’ve started actively promoting our technologies at major global trade fairs, forging valuable connections with potential partners. With an estimated annual market growth of 19–34%, and relatively few active competitors, we are strongly motivated to export Romanian innovation and prove our capability to compete successfully on the global stage.
Strategic Innovation: New Business Verticals
Following the success of our autonomous robots and our experience in developing and operating a fleet of electric scooters, we are now moving toward the development of ground drones. These remotely operated and semi-autonomous vehicles are highly versatile and suitable for both civilian and defense applications, where speed and adaptability are critical. It’s a natural evolution for us, grounded in today’s needs and our accumulated technological expertise.
Key Business Lessons Learned
One of the most important lessons we’ve learned is that rapid adaptation is essential in an unpredictable market marked by inflation and rising costs. Clients value solutions that provide clear, measurable results. Continuous investment in innovation has helped us stay competitive, but it is our team that truly makes the difference. The people behind the technology are the ones who shape our success — and their development remains a top priority.
R&D Funding
So far, we have supported our research and development efforts entirely through self-financing and reinvested profits, viewing R&D as a vital strategic investment for the company. We have not accessed any EU-funded programs, although we have explored such opportunities. Ultimately, we concluded that these programs often involve bureaucratic and slow processes that could limit our flexibility to pivot or reposition quickly during implementation. Therefore, we chose to rely on internal resources that allow us to maintain full control over the direction and pace of our innovation.
Finding Opportunity in Global Chaos
In a world marked by uncertainty, entrepreneurs must be more agile than ever. Our first piece of advice: prioritize flexibility. Build business models that allow for rapid adaptation — whether in the face of supply chain disruptions or economic volatility. Diversifying markets and revenue streams can help reduce risks associated with regional instability.
Invest in technologies that address current needs and become essential during times of crisis. Maintain a financial buffer to absorb shocks, but don’t hesitate to innovate strategically, even in turbulent times — because opportunity often emerges from chaos.
Finally, invest in trust-based relationships with partners and clients; during times of pressure, loyalty and collaboration become invaluable assets. The courage to think long-term, combined with the ability to act swiftly in the present, is key to thriving in this environment.
What’s Next
We will continue to innovate and expand our solutions into more spaces throughout Romania and Europe. Our mission is to transform hygiene and safety into a process that is intelligent, accessible, and sustainable.
To those who believe in our mission — thank you. This award belongs to you as well.
Wolf-e Robotics products’ range
Regarding our product range, we have mentioned three Wolf-e Robotics devices earlier, and now we will provide a summary of our entire range of developed and manufactured devices:
- Standalone air disinfection devices (suitable for continuous use in the presence of people) such as Aer, Aer 500+, Aer S, Breez, which can be used in general practitioners’ offices, dental clinics, physiotherapy spaces, medical clinic halls, and similar spaces
- Upper-room UV germicidal devices (Beam) that are ten times more effective than mechanical ventilation in air purification
- Mobile unidirectional devices (Wolf-Lamp S, Wolf-Lamp)
- Air disinfection systems for elevators (Lift)
- Non-autonomous mobile robots for air and surface disinfection (CoBOT-Ultra, CoBOT-Lite)
- Autonomous mobile robots for air and surface disinfection (Wolf BOT). Wolf-BOT is the name of our family of autonomous mobile robots, and in its top-tier version, it is the most powerful robot in the world. It can automatically map spaces, precisely avoid obstacles, and adjust UVC exposure based on surface type and environmental conditions. The detailed reports it generates ensure full traceability, while its autonomy significantly reduces the costs and risks associated with manual disinfection. For example, in a hospital setting, Wolf-BOT can disinfect a room in record time, without the need for additional staff, providing both safety and efficiency.
- The Wolf-e Robotics mobile application, providing a modern and 100% traceable working environment
- WolfeSENSE digital air quality monitoring sensors
- A platform for monitoring indoor air quality using sensors to provide real-time information on air quality in indoor spaces
