Innuos

Innuos is a prestigious Portuguese high-fidelity digital music server and streamer manufacturer founded in 2009 by computer science engineers Nuno Vitorino and Amelia Santos, who transformed their audiophile hobby from assembling music servers on their London dining table into a globally recognized brand that has revolutionized digital audio streaming technology. Originally established in London while both founders pursued corporate careers at Deloitte and Tesco, the company returned to Portugal in 2013, initially operating from Amelia's family vacation home garage in Vila Real de Santo António before establishing their permanent headquarters in Faro, Algarve, where they now employ nearly 50 people from over 10 different nationalities across a modern 1000-square-meter manufacturing facility inaugurated in March 2023. The company officially launched the Innuos brand in 2016 with their ZEN MkII series, building on seven years of development that began with Nuno's personal passion for creating custom audio streaming equipment using off-the-shelf components, evolving into a business when friends requested their own units, leading to the development of proprietary hardware and software solutions. Operating under the mission 'Unleashing the magic in music,' Innuos has earned over 100 press awards and critical acclaim for their comprehensive product portfolio that includes the flagship Nazaré ultimate audiophile music streamer named after Portugal's famous coastal town, the ZEN Next-Gen revelation in sound and performance, the STREAM series gateway to high-performance music streaming, and innovative networking products like the PhoenixNET audiophile-grade network switch and PhoenixUSB reclocker for digital signal improvement. The company's success story demonstrates Portuguese engineering excellence through their in-house developed Sense operating system and control app, custom hardware design, and meticulous handcrafted manufacturing that merges cutting-edge technology with extraordinary attention to detail, serving audiophiles in 50 countries through over 350 Hi-Fi partner stores worldwide. With Nuno Vitorino serving as Co-Founder and R&D Director responsible for technical innovation and operating system development since 2016, and Amelia Santos as Chief Executive Officer overseeing business operations, Innuos represents a unique success story of Portuguese entrepreneurship that prioritizes customer-driven research and development, sustainability, social responsibility, and inclusion while maintaining their roots in the Algarve region. The company continues expanding their global presence with offices in the UK and United States, demonstrating how passion for high-quality audio combined with innovative engineering can create a world-class technology company that puts Portugal on the map as a center of excellence for high-end digital audio equipment manufacturing and software development.
