Water Tower Research Highlights Ainos' Transition to Technology Company Following GICS Reclassification
New GICS code increases visibility among technology investors as Ainos builds commercial momentum around its AI-powered digital olfaction platform
Expanded partnerships and IP portfolio to strengthen Ainos' SmellTech-as-a-Service model and competitive edge
SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA / ACCESS Newswire / October 7, 2025 / Ainos, Inc. (NASDAQ:AIMD)(NASDAQ:AIMDW) ("Ainos" or the "Company"), a leader in AI-powered scent digitization, today announced that Water Tower Research (WTR) issued a new report spotlighting Ainos' formal reclassification under the Global Industry Classification Standard (GICS®) to the technology sector from biotechnology, effective October 1, 2025. The report recognizes Ainos' transformation into a technology-driven company built around its proprietary AI-powered digital olfaction platform, AI Nose.
Key Highlights from the Report
GICS reclassification signals key strategic evolution: The transition underscores Ainos' increasing commercial momentum on AI-powered sensing and digital olfaction powered by AI Nose and smell language model (SLM). Given this strategic pivot, WTR assumed coverage of Ainos under its technology research platform in August.
Greater visibility among technology-focused investors: With the GICS update,Ainos will now be benchmarked alongside global technology peers and can be included in indices that focus on tech stocks. This move expands Ainos' visibility among technology-oriented investors, funds, and ETFs, shifting market attention toward AI Nose's recurring revenue potential and user adoption metrics as Ainos advances its SmellTech-as-a-Service model.
AI Nose gains commercial traction through broader partnership ecosystem: Ainos generated its first revenue of $110,000 from an elderly care pilot program during 1H 2025, with additional tractions accelerating in 2H 2025 ahead of large-scale commercialization scheduled for 2026. The Company also secured its first three-year SmellTech-as-a-Service order valued at $2.1 million for semiconductor manufacturing, marking its first long-term commercial win. In Japan, seven pilots are being launched with its first robotic partner, marking Ainos' growing footprint in the robotics market. Overall, Ainos has expanded its industrial ecosystem this year by adding five partners across semiconductors, robotics, and smart manufacturing.
Expanding IP portfolio strengthens competitive moat: The Company recently secured seven new patents across Europe, Germany, Taiwan, and China, reinforcing its leadership in AI-powered olfaction technologies and their applications in robotics. Ainos now holds 123 active patents and applications across its key technologies spanning the U.S., Europe, Germany, Japan, Taiwan, and China.

"Our GICS reclassification reflects more than just a new industry code-it marks a company-wide transformation," said Eddy Tsai, Chairman, President and CEO of Ainos. "We've realigned our internal R&D to strengthen this direction by establishing a new Smart Healthcare Sensing division to advance AI Nose's healthcare applications, and by forming a subsidiary dedicated to developing our AI platform, the smell language model (SLM). These initiatives position Ainos to lead the next frontier of sensory intelligence and unlock new value across healthcare, industrial, and robotic ecosystems."
