| Zohar CleanTech (ZCT) LTD | v | Zohar develops ZoharX, a compact on-site waste-to-energy system that converts mixed residual waste into syngas and local energy, reducing landfill dependency, waste transportation and greenhouse-gas emissions. | Zohar CleanTech (ZCT) LTD develops ZoharX, a compact, modular and decentralized waste-to-energy system designed to treat mixed residual waste close to where it is generated. ZoharX uses a controlled, steam-assisted thermo-chemical gasification process rather than conventional incineration, converting the carbon-based fraction of waste into syngas that can be cleaned and used for local electricity and heat generation. The current Beta platform is designed to process approximately 1,200 kg of waste per day while reducing the amount of waste requiring final disposal by more than 90%. By replacing part of the conventional collect-transport-landfill chain, ZoharX reduces landfill dependency, methane formation, truck movements and associated emissions. The company is currently progressing from field-validated Beta systems toward repeatable commercial deployment and serial-production readiness. | Climate | -1 | 2017 | 3 | Dr. Chanan Gabay | Tsachi Shohat | Chief Operation Officer | VP R&D | CTO | Uzi Segal | https://www.linkedin.com/in/chanangabay/ | https://www.linkedin.com/in/isaac-tsachi-shohat-404b8b150/ | https://www.linkedin.com/in/uzi-segal-ab83a028/ | https://kic-league.monday.com/protected_static/4643236/resources/3253362360/Chanan%20Gabay%201-1-1.png | https://kic-league.monday.com/protected_static/4643236/resources/3253364535/%D7%A6%D7%97%D7%99.png | https://kic-league.monday.com/protected_static/4643236/resources/3253365855/%D7%A2%D7%95%D7%96%D7%99.png | Seed | Zohar CleanTech (ZCT) LTD has been funded through a combination of strategic corporate investment, government R&D grants, shareholder financing and founders' capital.

| Cloud Power & Water (AirHES) | v | Getting fresh water & hydropower directly from clouds | The Water Cycle is the most powerful process in Nature: Sun spends for it about a half of Sun’s Energy achieving the Earth. Clouds are a global storage system for solar energy and fresh water. Clouds are everywhere! We can collect this ideal fresh water (11 times more than all river flow, at $0.10/m3) and hydropower (50 times more than mankind needs, at $0.007/kWh) directly from the clouds anywhere using well-known fog harvesting technology. Cloud Power & Water (AirHES.com) technology was invented in 2012. Now this emerging technology is free and has been completely theoretically developed and partially confirmed by full-scale and laboratory experiments, the necessary technical, economic and engineering calculations, computer simulation and optimization have been carried out. For its implementation, it is necessary to conduct R&D in the coming years, build and test prototypes. https://www.bip-it.com/project/625-cloud-power-water-airhes | Energytech | 4 | 2014 | 1 | PreSeed | none | TRL 1-3 Concept / Research | Prototype | No sales yet | none | Yes | http://airhes.com | https://kic-league.monday.com/protected_static/4643236/resources/3253634658/Business_presentation_AirHES_.pdf | https://kic-league.monday.com/protected_static/4643236/resources/3253641182/Cloud%20Power%20&%20Water%20(AirHES)%20Company%20Profile.pdf | https://kic-league.monday.com/protected_static/4643236/resources/3253614626/airhes_logo.jpg | inventor | 972557717229 | andrew@airhes.com | Andrew | Kazantsev | You can get all the important information directly on my website, AirHES.com, and through the links there.

That replaces one pollutant with another: oxidizers consume constant supplemental fuel and emit CO2, NOx and SOx, while destroying solvent the plant paid to buy. The economics are worst exactly where the market is growing fastest, because oxidizers are engineered for streams above roughly 3,000 mg/m3, so in the 200-600 ppm band typical of semiconductor, battery and pharma exhaust, supplemental fuel becomes 60-80% of operating cost.

Effective, scalable management of HABs can simultaneously improve water quality, protect freshwater resources and biodiversity, strengthen climate resilience, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions associated with excessive algal biomass and its decomposition. To translate these benefits into measurable and verifiable climate impact, BlueGreen has developed a dedicated carbon-credit methodology for quantifying carbon removal and methane-emission avoidance resulting from the restoration of HAB-affected water bodies. The methodology is currently in the final stages of the approval process, establishing a scientifically robust framework for quantifying and verifying these climate benefits. Combined with our commercially deployed technology, international field experience, and ability to operate at scale, this creates a pathway to transform aquatic ecosystem restoration from a local environmental intervention into a scalable climate solution with measurable global impact. | 2026-09-01 21:49:35 UTC | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Tree-Tube Ltd | מתאים | v | TreeTube - Built for cities. Designed for trees. | TreeTube is a climate adaptation solution that helps cities grow large, healthy street trees while managing stormwater underground. Cities are facing higher temperatures, more frequent heatwaves and heavier rainfall, while urban space for trees is limited. Trees are an effective nature-based solution, but they often fail because there is not enough soil, root space or water. TreeTube creates dedicated underground infrastructure for trees. It provides the soil volume and structural support needed for long-term root development while allowing roads, sidewalks and other infrastructure to remain above it. Like any other urban infrastructure, TreeTube co-exists with utilities, drainage and transportation infrastructure and allows them to be accessed and maintained. The system can also capture and store stormwater close to where it falls, making water available to the tree instead of sending it directly into the drainage system. We are also launching an underground sensor system designed specifically for TreeTube. The sensors transmit data from inside the system, allowing the tree and its growing environment to be monitored over time. TreeTube is delivered to site as one complete, ready-to-install system. Installation is fast, simple and requires minimal site work: essentially a plug-and-play approach to underground tree infrastructure. This makes it easy to integrate into conventional construction and scale across different markets. TreeTube is already in real-world implementation, with installations and pilots in Europe and Israel. We are working with municipalities, infrastructure companies, landscape professionals and urban planners, with growing interest from international markets.

| okimata | מתאים | v | Okimata is developing a new materials platform and manufacturing process for ceramic-like fixtures and tiles, delivering the functionality customers value in porcelain while fundamentally improving production economics and environmental impact. | Okimata is developing a new materials platform and manufacturing process for ceramic-like fixtures and tiles, delivering the functionality customers value in porcelain while fundamentally improving production economics and environmental impact. Ceramic fixtures and wall tiles represent a $194B market still reliant on a kiln-fired process developed millennia ago. Sanitary-ware production emits ~3x more CO₂ and consumes ~10x more energy per kg than Portland cement. This legacy model is under growing pressure: margins are squeezed by rising energy, raw material, labour, freight and capital costs, alongside increasing carbon and waste taxation. At the same time, customers demand more sustainable products, but remain reluctant to pay a premium for them. Okimata’s core insight is simple: in ceramics, the glaze delivers most of the functional and aesthetic value, while the kiln-fired body and process carry most of the cost and environmental burden. Okimata decouples the value from the process. Our three-layer composite structure combines a recycled-polymer structural body, decorative layer and proprietary ceramic-like glaze, produced at 70–80°C versus ~1,250°C for porcelain, preserving key performance characteristics without kiln-based economics. The result: 35–40% lower production cost, 65–70% less energy, 75–80% lower CO₂, 95% less water and ~60% lower CAPEX. These economics enable local production in Western countries, aligning with reshoring initiatives such as “Build America, Buy America” and “Made in Europe”, while reducing supply-chain dependency, inventory, freight and logistics costs. Okimata aligns what the industry has struggled to combine: lower cost, sustainability and performance. Industry leaders are already engaging with us to transition from kiln-based manufacturing to a scalable, energy-lean and lower-cost platform, without requiring a change in customer behaviour. | Novel Materials | 5 | 2025 | 2 | Nitai Alush Aben | Shai Hirsch | CEO | CTO | linkedin.com/in/nitai-alush-aben-015101 - https://linkedin.com/in/nitai-alush-aben-015101 | linkedin.com/in/shai-hirsch-38b7292aa - https://linkedin.com/in/shai-hirsch-38b7292aa | https://kic-league.monday.com/protected_static/4643236/resources/3229296882/Nitai-pic1.jpeg | https://kic-league.monday.com/protected_static/4643236/resources/3229297665/Shai%20Hirsch%20Pic.pdf | Seed | VC, angel investors, IIA grant, Coller Prize money | TRL 4-6 Validation / Lab-tested | Prototype | Other - please specify | • NDAs signed with leading industry players, including TOTO, Villeroy & Boch, Sloan, Gensler and SACMI. • R&D evaluation with Villeroy & Boach, and Toto, Kohler is in discussions still • Soft letters of interest received from Gensler, Sloan, SACMI, MYC and others. • A Conditional order, with a $200M UK leading bathroom company, projecting $35-$40M over 5 years, should be signed in the coming weeks. • Head Of Terms, with a publicly traded $500M leading bathroom brand, projecting $40M over 5 years should be signed in the coming weeks. • 2 more Conditional orders discussions with bathroom brands, not yet in agreement draft phase. | We are in the process of registration | www.okimata.com - https://www.okimata.com | https://kic-league.monday.com/protected_static/4643236/resources/3229310215/Okimata-Final-Investor-%20Pricing.pdf | https://kic-league.monday.com/protected_static/4643236/resources/3229306165/Okimata-OP-%20One%20pager.pdf | https://kic-league.monday.com/protected_static/4643236/resources/3229317120/okimata_logo_highres.png | CEO | 972523777003 | nitaia@okimata.com | Nitai | Alushaben | WE won Coller 1st prize in 2026 | 2026-09-06 09:02:38 UTC | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Arbell Energy | מתאים | מתאים | החליפו מנכל לאחרונה סופר מעניין | v | Developed New printed Solar cell powered by quantum technology | The sun sends more energy to Earth in an hour than humanity uses in a year, yet we still collect it with 70-year-old silicon: rigid, heavy, opaque, at its physical ceiling. Arbell Energy breaks that constraint. We patent a printed quantum-dot solar film, a non-silicon photovoltaic ink, coated with ordinary roll-to-roll equipment onto glass, plastic, or metal: light, flexible, and optionally transparent. An innovative breakthrough is an ordered multichromatic nanocrystal architecture, in which size-tuned quantum-dot populations are programmed to capture different parts of the spectrum and route their energy through one absorber. A single junction can therefore harvest the whole spectrum and exploit multiple-exciton generation, where one photon frees more than one electron, turning the loss mechanism that has capped every solar cell since 1961 into a design variable. Our patent solution puts the architectural ceiling at ~86%, about 3x the classical single-junction limit. TNO/Solliance, one of Europe's foremost PV institutes, independently validated our devices, confirmed multichromatic operation and a repeatable industrial coating process, and named it the first scalable solar cell concept exploiting multi-exciton generation. The technology is patented and at TRL 6. Because it is an ink, not a wafer, it drops into existing coating and glass lines instead of new gigafactories. One platform early pilot includes retrofitting boosters on existing panels at aging solar farms, rooftop facades and windows that generate power, and greenhouses that farm and generate at once. We are developing vehicle roofs that charge while driving and ultralight film for space. Silicon made solar cheap. Arbell makes it universal: 3x more power from every surface, not only the land we cleared for it. | Energytech | 2 | 2021 | 1 | Matan Arbell | CTO | https://www.linkedin.com/in/matan-arbell-b1755515/ | https://kic-league.monday.com/protected_static/4643236/resources/3229310437/matan.jfif | Seed | 2 Safe rounds total 3.5M$: - Leading industry angel - Small VC (TOMBO, NEXTGEAR,CREATION SPACE) - Innovation Accelerator - ESIL - Grants from innovation authority and energy department | TRL 7-9 Pilot / Market-ready | Alpha | No sales yet | - LOI: with 4 leading energy utilities (Spain & USA, IL), Paid pilots: EON, CCP, Solier,solar-edger | Yes | www.arbellenergy.com - https://www.arbellenergy.com | https://kic-league.monday.com/protected_static/4643236/resources/3229323663/Arbell%20Energy_Investors_V.1.7%20(Share).pptx | https://kic-league.monday.com/protected_static/4643236/resources/3229323578/Arbell%20Energy%20%E2%80%94%20Investor%20One-Pager(Dark).pdf | https://kic-league.monday.com/protected_static/4643236/resources/3229323915/Logo2.png | CSO | 972542566573 | ronen.lago@gmail.com | Ronen | Lago | 2026-09-06 09:30:01 UTC | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Firewave | מתאים | מתאים | קצת צעיר, לא הצליח בפיילוט עם קקל טכנולוגית אבל מעניין | v | Firewave's IoT sensors use acoustic AI to detect wildfires within minutes of ignition, 24/7, day or night. | Firewave is an Israeli startup building autonomous acoustic wildfire detection systems that identify the unique sound signature of a fire within minutes of ignition, before smoke is even visible. Our IoT sensors run AI-based audio detection at the edge, with no dependency on line-of-sight and full all-weather, day-or-night operation, addressing the core limitation of camera- and satellite-based systems, which require visible smoke or clear sightlines and often take much longer to alert. Each sensor covers roughly a 50-meter radius, and systems are deployed at a density of about one sensor per hectare, wirelessly reporting detections to a central monitoring platform for rapid response. Our use case is protecting communities and businesses in wildfire-prone areas, giving fire departments, municipalities, and property owners the earliest possible warning so they can act before a fire spreads. As climate change intensifies, firefighting and emergency resources are increasingly stretched thin, split across a growing number of simultaneous threats, making local resilience and self-sufficiency more critical than ever. Firewave's system is built for this reality: it enables local adaptation and improves readiness at the community level, so early detection can trigger a rapid, local response rather than depending solely on already-strained centralized resources. Beyond wildfire, the same acoustic anomaly detection technology has broader applications in forestry and utilities, and we are actively expanding our footprint in the U.S. while exploring entry into the European market. | Climate | 5 | 2024 | 2 | Jenia Yurkovsky | Eduard Grinberg | CEO | CTO | https://www.linkedin.com/in/evgeny-jenia-yurkovsky-709630b2/ | https://www.linkedin.com/in/eduard-grinberg-7725aa322/ | https://kic-league.monday.com/protected_static/4643236/resources/3229327605/WhatsApp%20Image%202025-07-06%20at%2015.20.25.jpeg | https://kic-league.monday.com/protected_static/4643236/resources/3229327903/Edik.png | PreSeed | Pre-seed: $800K investment + $450K non dilutive government grant Investment from Techstars, Tonbo Ventures, Angeles investors Grant from the Israeli Innovation Authority | TRL 7-9 Pilot / Market-ready | Beta | First sales | Firewave has moved from pilots to early commercial traction, with an agreement in place for a full system installation with the Bel Air Glen HOA and an active installation at Half Moon Camp, NY and Ramah Rockies camp, CO, alongside additional summer camp deployments across Colorado and Canada, with further installations planned for early October. We've run live operational demos with the Larimer County and Aspen fire departments and are moving forward a pilot with the San Bernardino fire department. In Israel, our pilot with KKL and Nature and Park Authority validated the system's broader acoustic anomaly detection capabilities when it also successfully detected an irrigation pipe failure. We're in discussions on a pending MOU with a California city for a 500-sensor deployment, and are developing a strategic collaboration with Seneca on autonomous firefighting drones.

Rising temperatures and prolonged droughts are driving more frequent and more intense fires, and in high-activity years these fires release CO2 on a scale approaching roughly 10% of global greenhouse gas emissions, rivaling the output of major industrial economies. Early detection is the single highest-leverage intervention available: identifying a fire within minutes of ignition, rather than after it has grown large enough to produce visible smoke, is what allows suppression before a fire spreads out of control, directly reducing both the human and climate toll. This is increasingly urgent as autonomous fire suppression technologies, such as drone-based systems like Seneca's, gain traction; these systems are highly effective at extinguishing small, newly-ignited fires but are inherently limited by the amount of water or retardant they can carry, and become far less effective once a fire has spread beyond its earliest stage. Firewave closes exactly this gap: by detecting ignition within minutes, before smoke is visible, our system gives autonomous and human responders alike the earliest possible window to act while a fire is still small enough to suppress efficiently. As these detection and response systems mature together, Firewave is positioned to be a key enabling layer in this landscape, helping prevent wildfires from spreading and meaningfully reducing the greenhouse gas emissions they would otherwise release. | 2026-09-06 10:00:07 UTC | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| CropSight Ltd. | מתאים באופן חלקי | Could not find supporting data regarding their investors | v | Deep-tech, AI-native yield intelligence with global reach. We forecast a region's harvest up to twelve months before the official figure confirms it, so institutions can act on climate-driven supply shocks before they land. | CropSight is a deep-tech company building AI-native yield intelligence for the institutions that price, insure and source agricultural production: commodity traders, agricultural insurers, food manufacturers, cooperatives and government planning bodies. Climate volatility has broken the statistics agricultural risk is priced on. Around half of all growing seasons on record now land 12% or more away from what the previous three years would suggest. Existing systems confirm those seasons only after the harvest, once cover is settled, contracts are priced and the loss is absorbed. Below national level, forward quantity data does not exist at all. Our deep-learning ensemble reads climate, weather and biophysical signals for a defined region and returns a single figure: the coming harvest as its change from the last one, up to twelve months ahead of the official statistic. The system runs in production today, forecasting every region it covers in one weekly pass across 221 live cases in 16 countries. Behind it sits a record of 4,443 validated cases across 50 countries and 16 crops. Each case is retrained on that region's earlier seasons only, then scored against the yield the government's own statistics office later published for a season the model never saw. Across the deep-record producing belts the result is 90% accuracy or better, and it holds a full year out rather than converging near harvest. The climate relevance is structural. The model's advantage over conventional baselines is largest in exactly the volatile and drought-affected seasons, and largest again in rainfed systems, which are the most climate-exposed and the least served by existing forecasting. A forward read of quantity per region is also the missing input for parametric agricultural insurance, which cannot price or settle without one, and for anticipatory action ahead of a shortfall rather than relief after it.

In a stable year, repeating the last three harvests is a reasonable guess. In Teruel, Spain, the 2021 grape harvest came in at half of what recent history pointed to, and that guess would have been wrong by more than the size of the crop itself. Our forecast, made before the season began, was within five percent of what came off the vine. Roughly half of all seasons on record now break from their own history that hard. The same pattern holds by farming system. The model earns most in rainfed agriculture, where weather is the whole story, and rainfed systems carry the sharpest climate exposure and the thinnest forward data. A forward figure there changes what is possible downstream. Parametric agricultural insurance cannot price or settle without a yield prediction. Anticipatory response to a shortfall cannot begin without one either. We hold no patents. What is difficult to copy is the scored record. Each of our 4,443 cases is retrained on that region's earlier seasons only, then measured against the figure the government's own statistics office later published for a season the model never saw. We report the final training epoch rather than the best one, and we publish the regions the model reads badly alongside the ones it reads well. A competitor can buy the same satellites and the same weather feeds. The record is the part that has to be earned, and it deepens with every region added. Prize funds would go to the next capability the ensemble needs: an uncertainty band on every forecast. An insurer cannot write a contract on a point estimate, and that band is the step between a validated forecast and a bankable one. R&D and operations sit in Israel, and the engine built here is scored against fifty countries' own published statistics. Revenue from Europe and the United States is what funds extending it into the climate-exposed systems. | 2026-09-06 10:11:19 UTC | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Keren Energy Ltd. | לא מתאים | v | micro-learning platform that empowers local operators to map physical climate hazards and protect critical energy and community assets using standard smartphone visual data. | While the world is aggressively investing billions in climate mitigation (installing solar arrays, battery storage, and smart microgrids), it is completely neglecting climate adaptation—securing those physical assets from the changing climate itself . Physical climate risks already carry a $1.2 trillion annual price tag for global enterprises by the 2050s , leading to catastrophic operational downtime, grid instability, and massive economic losses . In Israel alone, wildfire damages exceed 7 billion NIS annually, and flash floods cost billions in industrial and municipal damage . When clean energy systems are knocked out by extreme weather (like 100 mm/hour storms or 30-40 mm hail), communities are forced to switch back to highly polluting diesel generators, reversing decarbonization gains . Keren energy solves this adaptation bottleneck through a highly scalable, hybrid SaaS and EdTech framework. Instead of deploying expensive, scarce climate engineers to physically audit thousands of remote facilities, we operate a 'Train-the-Trainer' model. We train and certify existing local operational managers (our 'Resilience Heroes') through a 36-hour practical program . Using our lightweight mobile/web application, these local managers capture and upload standard photos and videos of their physical site's vulnerability (such as PV anchoring, drainage inlets, battery housing, and surrounding dry vegetation) . Our SaaS cloud engine combines computer vision algorithms with regional GIS meteorological datasets (such as Copernicus and JRC flood/fire hazard models) to automatically decode the media, identify single-points-of-failure, and generate a localized, low-cost 'No-Regret' physical protective checklist (e.g., clearing wildfire brush buffers or elevating sensitive electronic controllers) . | Climate | 4 | 14 | 2 | OFER KEREN | Smadar Keren | Founder & CEO | Co-Founder & COO | https://www.linkedin.com/in/ofer-keren-813700/ | https://www.linkedin.com/company/5404354/admin/dashboard/ | https://kic-league.monday.com/protected_static/4643236/resources/3229340362/OFER%20KEREN%20CV.jpg | https://kic-league.monday.com/protected_static/4643236/resources/3229341530/SMADAR.JPG | Bootstrap | Keren energy is entirely bootstrapped and customer-funded to date by our highly profitable parent company, Keren Energy Ltd., which has funded 100% of our software development and operational launch .

It is also an economic revolution and a new way of thinking about everyday products. We believe we should stop producing, transporting and buying what we do not actually need. We do not need single-use plastic bottles ! We do not need to transport water around the world when water is already available from the tap ! What we really need are the active ingredients, the formulation know-how and the production process that turns them into a high-quality product. Our technology brings this intelligence into an ultra-concentrated solid format that is activated with tap water at the point of use. So why make this change? Because everyone benefits. For the end consumer, the experience remains familiar: the final product is used in the same way they already know. For companies, it offers a practical way to reduce packaging, transport, storage, emissions and costs, while responding to increasingly demanding environmental regulations. This is why we see Capsule Minimal as more than a product innovation. It is a new model for the industry: better for companies, better for consumers, and better for the planet. Our ambition is simple : to make transporting water and using single-use plastic bottles for everyday products obsolete ! Join us and be part of this revolution. | 2026-09-06 15:01:23 UTC | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Our proprietary Dual-Fluid Compressor Pump (DFCP) replaces conventional gas compression with a near-isothermal compression process designed to dramatically reduce the electricity required for cooling. Combined with climate-safe natural refrigerants such as R290, the technology targets up to 50% lower electricity consumption compared with current state-of-the-art systems, using ultra-low-GWP, zero-ozone-depleting refrigerants while maintaining form, fit, function and manufacturing cost. Funpressor is initially targeting commercial refrigeration, where systems operate continuously and energy savings translate directly into significant reductions in operating costs and carbon emissions. Our longer-term platform opportunity extends across virtually any cooling application—from large-scale data centers and district cooling to residential HVAC and home appliances.

Funpressor's approach addresses both sides of their climate impact: indirect emissions from electricity consumption and direct emissions from high-GWP refrigerants. Rather than incrementally optimizing today's vapor-compression equipment, we are developing a fundamentally different compression process designed for high efficiency with climate-safe natural refrigerants. Our technology is inherently size-agnostic: the same underlying compression principle can be applied across cooling applications ranging from small appliances and residential air conditioning to commercial refrigeration, data-center cooling and large district-cooling systems. Our first commercial focus is supermarket refrigeration, providing a measurable, high-utilization environment in which energy and emissions savings can be independently validated before expanding into additional cooling markets. A key design principle is maintaining form, fit and function. We are not asking the HVAC&R industry to reinvent how it installs, operates or services cooling equipment. Existing technicians already have the infrastructure, tools and skills required to work with the systems—we will still ask them to read the manual! At its heart, Funpressor is an innovation and technology company. Our goal is to develop the technology and system designs, generate the performance evidence required for market adoption, and complete the necessary validation and qualification. From there, we intend to scale primarily through licensing our core technology to established manufacturers and industry partners, while Funpressor retains and supplies the proprietary controls and software that enable and optimize the system. | 2026-09-06 19:38:01 UTC | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| OASIX | מתאים | Almost over-qualified | v | OASIX builds Thermal UPS systems to unlock 4–10% more AI computing capacity from existing power infrastructure, protect cooling and enable waterless, chiller-free operation. | OASIX develops modular thermal energy storage for buildings and AI data centers. Our Thermal UPS addresses a growing bottleneck: cooling competes with computing for limited electrical capacity, and a few hot hours can constrain computing capacity all year. Using phase-change materials and predictive controls, our DualThermal architecture coordinates liquid cooling and residual-air cooling across the facility. The system is designed to unlock 4–10% additional IT capacity within the existing power envelope while providing thermal backup during cooling interruptions. Our stackable cells combine all-aluminum heat exchangers with high-density thermal storage to deliver high performance, cost-effective capacity and a compact footprint. The platform can provide up to 10 times the usable thermal storage capacity of an equal-volume water buffer, depending on the operating temperature range. Its non-flammable storage core has no moving parts, supporting fire safety, high reliability, low maintenance and quiet thermal discharge. For equivalent cooling duty, the system requires substantially less space on a total-project basis than an electrical battery-plus-chiller solution. With suitable sizing and dry-cooling integration, the platform enables waterless, chiller-free cooling. Our reference model shows customer payback of 2.5–3.5 years at current pricing, including additional IT investment and OASIX service fees. Capacity unlock alone drives this return. Electricity savings, chiller optimization, added thermal backup and deferred cooling expansion provide further upside; qualifying U.S. projects may also benefit from federal investment tax credits. Savings and incentives can further shorten payback; resilience and sustainability add value, even before future price reductions.

By storing cooling when ambient conditions are favorable and releasing it during hot periods, our Thermal UPS enables the cooling system to bridge peak conditions without running chiller compressors during discharge. The storage core has no moving parts, reducing mechanical wear and supporting reliable, quiet operation. With suitable sizing and dry-cooling integration, this architecture eliminates evaporative cooling water consumption and reduces dependence on compressor-based refrigeration. Our representative 10 MW IT engineering model shows PUE improving from 1.20 to 1.18 and cooling WUE falling from 0.30 to 0 L/kWh IT. At continuous full IT load, these changes correspond to approximately 1.75 GWh of electricity and 26.3 million liters of water saved annually, or 35 GWh and 526 million liters over 20 years. The architecture also supports up to four hours of daily cooling-load shifting to align demand with renewable availability and reduce grid peaks. Further development extends to waste-heat reuse, turning AI infrastructure into a source of useful heat. Lower cooling electricity demand and better alignment with renewable generation provide a direct route to reducing cooling-related emissions. The commercial driver is already strong: capacity-unlock economics support adoption at current pricing, while energy savings, water savings, quieter operation and resilience add further value. Climate Solutions Prize funding would accelerate engineering and field demonstration of this integrated architecture. | 2026-09-09 13:35:58 UTC | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Black Pearl Carbon LTD בי.פי. קרבון בע״מ | מתאים | v | We’re not reinventing the wheel. We’re recycling it, better. | Black Pearl Carbon is an Israeli climate-tech company which created a circular-carbon platform for end-of-life tires. Around 1.6 billion tires reach end of life every year; instead of burning, stockpiling or downcycling them, our patented continuous-pyrolysis process converts them into recovered carbon black (rCB), pyrolysis oil and recycled steel. The real game changer is the quality of our rCB. Traditional pyrolysis often produces char or inconsistent rCB that tire manufacturers can use only in limited amounts. Black Pearl core technology combines zone-controlled pyrolysis, steam activation and proprietary additive technology throughout the process to control and tune the carbon. This enables us to engineer rCB toward a tire manufacturer’s compound standard rather than produce a generic recycled material. Our rCB has been validated by four tire manufacturers, achieving 100% N660 and more than 50% N550 virgin-carbon-black substitution in tested applications. We changed the business model: customer first, plant second. We start with the tire manufacturer, understand the required specification, tune and qualify the rCB, and then scale production. On the supply side, we are in contact with tire shredding companies handling large, predictable tire volumes. Their process often ends with shredding, leaving material with limited outlets or low value. Black Pearl can purchase this material directly, giving us known feedstock tonnage for each plant. We can size each facility around defined input volumes and tell tire manufacturers how much qualified rCB they can expect. It is a win-win: shredders gain an outlet, Black Pearl secures supply, and tire manufacturers gain confidence in future volumes. Process gases are captured and reused through closed-loop combustion, reducing external energy demand. With patents across 12 jurisdictions and a pipeline of ~320,000 tons/year, Black Pearl combines climate impact with known supply, validated technology and established buyers | Novel Materials | 6 | 2026 | Other | Bootstrap | Black Pearl has been primarily founder-funded and bootstrapped to date. The team has financed technology development, pilot operations, IP development, testing and commercialization activities. | TRL 7-9 Pilot / Market-ready | POC in the field | No sales yet | • Proven pilot operation: Black Pearl operated a pilot plant that produced real rCB samples, which were sent to tire manufacturers for in-rubber testing and validation. Our material has been validated by four tire manufacturers, including 100% N660 and >50% N550 virgin-carbon-black substitution in tested applications. • Strong IP position: Our core technology is protected by granted/active patents across 12 jurisdictions, covering key elements of the process and proprietary carbon-upgrading technology. • U.S. feedstock partnership: We are working with one of the largest tire shredding/recycling companies in the U.S., which has identified facilities where large volumes of shredded tire material currently have limited outlets. This gives Black Pearl access to defined feedstock volumes for future U.S. plants and creates a strong win-win supply model. • India project: We are in advanced discussions to finalize a 100,000-ton/year project in India, with an option to scale toward 500,000 tons/year, together with a consortium of five established partners from the process and rubber industries. The structure also includes plans for a dedicated Indian holding company. • Tire-manufacturer engagement: We are actively engaging tire manufacturers and sustainability teams to qualify Black Pearl rCB to their compound requirements and build future offtake relationships before plants are scaled. • Commercial-scale pipeline: We are developing first commercial plants with local partners in Israel, the U.S., UK/Europe and other markets. Our current global project pipeline is approximately 320,000 tons/year.

Our founder and CTO, Dr. Alex Teplitski, has spent more than 16 years working in tire-recycling R&D and developing the core technology behind Black Pearl. He is the inventor of our patented process and has dedicated much of his career to solving one of the hardest challenges in recovered carbon black: how to produce material with the quality and consistency required by tire manufacturers. The technology was developed and demonstrated in Ukraine, where our team operated a pilot facility and produced samples that were later tested by tire manufacturers. During the war, the facility was severely damaged by an attack. Fortunately, samples and all of the accumulated knowledge had been preserved. Alex later came to Israel, and what could have been the end of the project instead became the beginning of its next chapter. Today, Black Pearl is an Israeli company built by an experienced international team, including olim hadashim who bring decades of knowledge and experience. Our team combines deep expertise in chemistry, engineering, industrial systems, business development, finance and global commercialization. What began as technology developed over many years abroad has found its home in Israel, where we are now building the company, expanding the team and taking an Israeli climate-tech solution to markets around the world. What makes us proud is that this is not a technology created overnight. It is the result of many years of scientific work, real-world testing, setbacks, persistence and collaboration. Now, through a global team and partnerships across several countries, we are working to take that technology from a proven pilot to a scalable international climate solution. | 2026-09-09 15:25:02 UTC | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Co-Exist | מתאים באופן חלקי | Could be relevant. Not clear what the product actually is | v | zero-runoff, precision cow cooling system that fully eliminates heat stress using existing barn fans, cutting water use by 60%–80% at zero added operational energy. | Co-Exist develops a breakthrough, zero-runoff precision cooling system for dairy cattle that solves the global adaptation failure of conventional barn cooling. While traditional systems rely on high-energy dedicated fans and static sprinklers that offset only 40%–50% of heat stress and generate heavy wastewater runoff, our targeted dynamic cooling achieves 100% thermal stress neutralization. By eliminating water runoff entirely, our solution uniquely unlocks safe, effective cooling directly inside the resting area (freestalls/bedding) without wetting the bedded pack or compromising udder health. Crucially, the system rides on existing barn ventilation fans already in place for air circulation, requiring zero added dedicated fan energy and cutting water consumption by 60%–80%. Field trials under extreme climatic conditions have demonstrated full physiological normalization (40–55 breaths per minute at peak heat) and yield increases of up to 6 liters per cow per day in the resting area. By matching standard industry acquisition costs while cutting daily operational expenses to near zero, we transform cooling from a resource-draining burden into an ultra-high ROI driver of dairy productivity and animal welfare. | Agritech | 3 | 2020 | 3 | Yonatan Gross | Dr. Roy Shakad | CE0 | CSO | CTO | Yoram Shtigliz | Bootstrap | Bootstrapped / Self-funded through sales revenue, Grants and founders' capital | TRL 7-9 Pilot / Market-ready | Beta | First sales | Operational Commercial & Pilot Deployments: Systems are actively deployed and operating across several commercial dairy farms in diverse climatic zones in Israel, validating continuous operational durability under harsh daily farm routines.

Our team is not a group of detached software developers looking for a problem to solve, but veteran dairy professionals, veterinarians, and field engineers who have spent their entire working lives inside commercial barns alongside cows and farmers. We came together with single-minded determination to solve the heat stress crisis from the ground up. Approaching this challenge with deep professional modesty and an acute awareness of everything that could fail in a rugged, caustic barn environment, our initial performance expectations were cautious. Yet, the empirical results have exceeded our most optimistic projections: cows remain calm and content through extreme summer peaks, milk production curves stay remarkably flat without seasonal drops, and the resting bedding pack remains completely dry with zero runoff. While our commercial journey has just begun—and we continue to actively refine the hardware and develop advanced automation features—the foundational technology is already proven in daily commercial operation. This is practical, field-rooted Israeli AgTech delivering tangible climate resilience where it matters most: directly to the animal and the farmer. | 2026-09-12 21:08:28 UTC | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

The farms will operate in clusters that share agronomy, training, procurement, logistics, quality control, packing, and market access. SoliDrip earns from system deployment, project management, recurring farm operations and produce aggregation, creating a scalable, profitable platform while expanding access to fresh food and creating 600–900 direct jobs, especially for women and youth. In parallel, our international urban-greening and landscape business follows a two-tier distribution model. Regional distributors support urban designers, landscape architects and professional landscapers who specify and install SoliDrip on rooftops, façades, courtyards, green buildings, streets and public spaces. This model builds on our commercial activity in Israel, Portugal and Singapore and supports planned expansion across the EU and the U.S. SoliDrip also helps cities keep trees and vegetation healthy through heat and water scarcity. Reliable, plant-specific irrigation supports stronger trees, broader shade canopies, and cooler streets; this is the focus of our planned desert-city pilot in Beer Sheva.

This first deployment marks the beginning of PhenoRoot’s global platform strategy: deploying the technology at customer sites and building a distributed root data-generation network, where every new platform expands PhenoRoot’s proprietary global database of soil-grown root systems. PhenoRoot’s technology has also gained recognition, winning 2nd place in the Rhodium Ventures Award 2025 and being selected as a semifinalist in the global 2025 SVG Ventures | THRIVE Global Impact Challenge, from a record pool of more than 2,000 applicants worldwide. | We are in the process of registration | www.phenoroot.com - https://www.phenoroot.com | https://kic-league.monday.com/protected_static/4643236/resources/3243764981/PhenoRoot-Investor%20Deck-%20Climate%20Solutions%20Prize%20-2026.pdf | https://kic-league.monday.com/protected_static/4643236/resources/3245277165/PhenoRoot-One-Pager%20-%202026.pdf | https://kic-league.monday.com/protected_static/4643236/resources/3241142389/Phenoroot-logo-07-white.jpg | CEO | 972509002844 | yana.voldman@phenoroot.com | Yana | Voldman | Some of the most critical data for understanding plant performance is hidden underground - and today, much of it remains inaccessible at the scale and quality needed to advance agriculture. PhenoRoot is changing that. Just as imaging technologies transformed medicine by providing access to previously unseen information inside the human body, PhenoRoot is bringing a similar transformation to agriculture - unlocking critical root and soil data that reveals how plants respond to genetics, treatments, and increasingly challenging environmental conditions. The potential climate impact extends far beyond a single crop or product. By providing this missing data layer, PhenoRoot enables seed and ag-input companies to develop better-performing, more resource-efficient, and climate-resilient crops and agricultural products. With our first automated platform entering commercial deployment, we are now beginning to scale this vision globally. Each deployed platform will generate previously inaccessible underground data and contribute to a growing proprietary global root database - building an increasingly powerful intelligence layer for more resilient and sustainable agriculture. | 2026-09-14 10:36:27 UTC | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Super Polymer | מתאים | v | Super Polymer makes an affordable, drop-in polymer additive that gives existing coatings powerful cooling and thermal insulation - for buildings, vehicles and other assets, with minor to zero changes to how they're made. | Super Polymer is a 100% crystalline HDPE additive - a fine white powder that blends directly into construction and automotive coatings to deliver 5–10°C of temperature reduction, up to 80% reduction in water absorption, and 20% coating weight reduction. Unlike passive insulation boards or reflective coatings, our powder works through three simultaneous mechanisms – solar reflectance, microscopic air-cavity insulation, and thermal IR reflection - which is what lets it perform even on dark and tinted surfaces, where every competing solution fails. We sell as a B2B drop-in additive: coating manufacturers add Super Polymer to their existing formulations with only minor changes to the product formulation, so there is no re-qualification cycle standing between them and a better-performing product. Every alternative on the market today forces a trade-off between performance and price. External insulation boards and foams add thickness and installation cost. Glass-bubble additives need 15–30% loading yet only deliver 2–3°C of cooling. The hard-to-mix-Aerogel comes closer (5–8°C) but costs $30–45/kg versus our $20–25/kg, pushing coating cost to about $1.8/m² versus our $1.0/m². High-performance reflective films match our cooling but require full installation, not a simple coating swap, at $60–120/m². Super Polymer is the only option pairing top-tier thermal performance with additive-level simplicity and cost - which is why Ashtrom, a major Israeli construction group, validated our results in their own formulations, placed a commercial order, and is moving toward launching a product with SP inside. We are inch away of becoming revenue-generating, with pilots soon to be launched in France, Singapore, the UAE, and with a top-5 global automaker, and we are raising $4M to accelerate EU and APAC sales, scale production capacity, and re-enforce IP and team. | Novel Materials | 5 | 2021 | 2 | Hagai Ortner | Super Polymer was co-founded by Hagai Ortner (CEO) and Atzmon Amitai, a chemical engineer who served as CTO until his passing three years ago after an illness.

| greenLi Extraction Technologies Ltd. | מתאים באופן חלקי | Have not completed a POC yet | מתאים | v | greenLi is developing a revolutionary system to manufacture the active materials in lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) directly from the lithium (Li) dissolved in any aqueous source. | greenLi is developing a modular "brine-to-battery" system to manufacture the active materials in lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) directly from the lithium (Li) dissolved in any aqueous source. Our two breakthrough technologies are: 1. A Membrane Lithium Extraction (MLE) system (TRL 4), differentiated by its ability to scale using commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) hardware from the desalination industry, and by operating continuously rather than in the batch cycles required by conventional lithium extraction processes, or the various alternative direct lithium extraction (DLE) technologies. MLE's performance is agnostic to the source concentration, extracting lithium as effectively from highly concentrated sources (e.g., wastewater from Li carbonate/hydroxide refineries, brine from salar) as from dilute waste streams (e.g., geothermal brine, groundwaters, even seawater). 2. A Direct Cathode Manufacture (DCM) process (TRL 3), which operates to vertically integrate the battery supply chain. This differentiates it from the industry's general approach, where aqueous lithium (primarily spodumene leachate and salar brine) are first manufactured into intermediate salts (lithium hydroxide & lithium carbonate), before being painstakingly manufactured into battery-ready cathode materials. DCM is an entirely mechanical method for capturing Li from aqueous environments and directly manufacturing high-quality and high-yield cathode materials on-site, cutting out multiple expensive, inefficient, geographically-fragmented manufacturing steps - particularly the current bottlenecked, China-reliant supply chain for refining and manufacturing. These technologies can be deployed independently or in tandem, and operate agnostic to the source of aqueous lithium and lithium salts respectively. It enables a new, domestic revenue stream and battery manufacturing capacity from resources that are currently inaccessible due to a lack of an efficient, scalable system for extracting lithium. | Novel Materials | 7 | 2025 | Critical Minerals & Supply Chain, operating upstream for Lithium Extraction & downstream for Battery Manufacturing | 2 | Eitan Benson | Prof. Hadas Mamane | Chief Executive Officer | Chief Scientific Officer | https://www.linkedin.com/in/eitan-yosef-benson-21484688/ | https://www.linkedin.com/in/hadas-mamane/ | https://kic-league.monday.com/protected_static/4643236/resources/3246496910/Eitan%20Headshot.png | https://kic-league.monday.com/protected_static/4643236/resources/3246499602/Hadas%20Headshot.jpg | Seed | The company is currently funded by a $3.5M seed round led by Israel-based deep-tech incubator Earth & Beyond Ventures (EBV, $2.0M), with a $1.5M co-investment from California-based venture firm SUM Ventures and its associated Limited Partners, at a valuation of $10M. greenLi also won $17,964.07 for our selection as a Qualified Team in the XPRIZE Water Scarcity Competition, sponsored by the Mohamed bin Zayed Water Initiative. | TRL 4-6 Validation / Lab-tested | POC in the lab | No sales yet | Multiple investors and major industrial entities have been attracted to greenLi, providing meaningful early support. On the industry side, significant traction has already been established by greenLi across geographies and lithium resources. To date, greenLi has signed: 1. A Letter of Intent (LoI) with SQMi to perform lithium recovery on the refinery effluent generated at Covalent Lithium’s Kwinana lithium hydroxide refinery in Perth, Australia, where our MLE will separate lithium from potassium and other cations in waste streams, returning the purified permeate directly to product crystallization steps; and, 2. A committed Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Kibbutz Shamir in northern Israel for an MLE pilot deployment of at least 100 m³/day to extract lithium from their groundwater. The MoU grants greenLi exclusive lithium extraction rights at the site. The agreement further specifies a scale-up path to a commercial facility exceeding 21,000 m³/day (TRL 9) within 12–24 months of pilot validation. greenLi was also selected as a Qualified Team in the XPRIZE Water Scarcity Competition, sponsored by the Mohamed bin Zayed Water Initiative. A formal partnership has also been signed between greenLi and Tel Aviv University, where the founding technology originated in Prof. Hadas Mamane’s lab through CEO Eitan Benson’s PhD research.

| H2OLL | מתאים | v | WATER AT SCALE IN DRY ZONES - FROM AIR! | H2OLL is a deep-tech water technology company delivering a commercialized Atmospheric Water Generation (AWG) solution designed for dry, inland, and water-scarce regions, where conventional water solutions and existing AWG technologies are ineffective or uneconomical. Over 1.5 billion people face chronic water scarcity driven by climate change, groundwater depletion, and urbanization. Most AWG systems require high humidity and high energy, limiting their use to coastal or tropical regions, while infrastructure-based alternatives such as desalination are capital-intensive and slow to deploy. H2OLL addresses this challenge with a patented, double-efficient technology developed at the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology. Using a brine-based liquid desiccant, the system captures water vapor at low humidity levels and releases it through an optimized condensation and energy-recovery process, producing high-quality drinking water with significantly lower energy consumption per liter. The solution is modular, decentralized, and scalable, enabling rapid deployment without dependence on pipelines or groundwater. H2OLL has reached commercial maturity, with upgraded systems for deployment in India Gate New Delhi (Indian government/Israeli Foreign office project), and in Mexico (premium water client) or US (Data center pilot). A 2-year successful commercial pilot in the Negev Desert, supported by the Israel Innovation Authority, validated performance under harsh field conditions. H2OLL serves industrial customers (data centers) and unconnected applications: communities, construction sites, mines, parks and more.

| SeaGenixLabs | לא מתאים | Too early | v | SeaGenixLabs unlocks natural plant stress tolerance using a proprietary gene-discovery platform that taps into extremophyte biology to generate stress-tolerant staple crops. | SeaGenixLabs's unique, proprietary, platform identifies genes that confer crop tolerance to abiotic stresses such as salinity, drought and extreme temperatures, aiming to revolutionize agriculture and ensure global food security. Abiotic stresses cause over $100 billion in annual crop losses. Traditional approaches for improving crop stress tolerance often fail because they rely on stress-sensitive model plants and single-gene fixes that cannot confer tolerance to multiple stresses encountered in the field and often cause yield penalties. SeaGenixLabs’s platform solves these problems by tapping into the treasure chest of genes present in extremophytes - plants that thrive in extreme habitats. By combining comparative transcriptomics with a unique bioinformatics pipeline, our platform identifies candidate regulatory genes that control an arsenal of downstream stress response networks. We then deploy precision CRISPR-Cas9 technology to edit the target genes in commercial crops to achieve multi-stress tolerance. Using salt tolerance as a test stress, we have identified 72 high-priority candidate genes and successfully obtained salt tolerant plants in the lab using mutants of the model species Arabidopsis thaliana defective in selected candidate genes, thereby demonstrating initial proof-of-concept (PoC). We have generated rice lines edited in 20 candidate salt tolerance genes and trials will be conducted with the edited lines in order to verify improved salt and/or drought tolerance (6 months’ timeline). The next target will be maize tolerance to salt and drought. The main advantages of our platform differentiating us from other players: • Next-Gen Systems Biology: Employing extremophytes to identify candidate stress tolerance genes. • Targeting Regulatory Genes: Multigenic regulation for durable, multi-stress tolerance. • Non-GMO: Meets consumer/regulatory demands for non-GMO solutions. • Versatile Technology: Applicable to additional crops and abiotic stresses. | Climate | 3 | 2021 | 3 | Prof. Simon Barak | Prof. Gidon Winters | Associate Professor | Associate Professor | Interim CEO, SeaGenixLabs | Dr. Kobi Inbar | https://www.linkedin.com/in/simon-barak-b0705133/ | https://www.linkedin.com/in/gidon-winters-551384127/ | https://www.linkedin.com/in/kobiinbar/ | https://kic-league.monday.com/protected_static/4643236/resources/3248400738/Simon%20Barak.jpg | https://kic-league.monday.com/protected_static/4643236/resources/3248402671/Gidon%20Winters.jpg | https://kic-league.monday.com/protected_static/4643236/resources/3248405571/Kobi%20Inbar.jpg | Seed | To date, SeaGenixLabs has been funded by COPIA Agriculture & Food Technologies, an Israeli Deep-tech Impact venture capital fund and the company’s first investor, which has supported the venture from the academic research stage through its current validation phase. Early technology discovery and platform development including initial proof-of-concept were further supported by competitive non-dilutive research grants including the Israel Ministry of Agriculture (Nitzan Grant), and the Goldinger Trust. The foundational extremophyte stress research has additionally leveraged collaborative research funding from the Israel Science Foundation (ISF) and the U.S.-Israel Binational Science Foundation (NSF-BSF).

As the company transitions into its next phase, we plan to recruit a full-time core execution team to lead its growth and commercialization. At present, SeaGenixLabs has completed initial proof-of-concept validation in Arabidopsis thaliana and generated 20 CRISPR-Cas9 gene-edited rice lines targeting prioritized candidate salt-tolerance genes. These lines are now ready to advance to high-throughput phenomics screening for salt tolerance, and a proposal has been obtained from a specialized U.S. facility for a 6-month trial.

Following validation of our first Rice/Salinity program, we plan to expand the platform to additional high-value applications, with Maize/Drought as the next target. The technology is protected by a filed PCT international patent application, and our next phase will focus on validating the gene-edited rice lines, establishing strategic collaborations with leading seed companies, and expanding the pipeline toward additional crops and abiotic stresses. Ultimately, SeaGenixLabs aims to become a source of novel climate-resilience traits for the US$70 billion global seed industry, enabling the development of crops better adapted to increasingly challenging growing conditions. | 2026-09-15 12:11:10 UTC | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Using machine learning, the platform builds predictive models that deeply understand a basin's data patterns, then continuously matches new field results against historical data to detect pollution risks early and generate clear, actionable recommendations — enabling proactive management instead of reactive crisis response. This shifts water management from cleanup after the fact to prevention before it happens — protecting a basin's ecological health and economic value, helping industry stay ahead of regulatory compliance, and keeping the water safe and clean for every use. By giving every stakeholder along the basin — regulators, factories, and beyond — access to the same trusted data, Rplace is building the foundation for a more transparent, accountable, and proactively managed water future. | Watertech | 0 | 2023 | 3 | Michal Wimmer Luria | Hadas Ganot Dotan | CEO | COO | CTO & VP product | Yaki Timor | https://www.linkedin.com/in/michal-wimmer-luria-49845a14/ | https://www.linkedin.com/in/hadas-ganot-dotan-a4b309228/ | https://www.linkedin.com/in/yaki-timor-02605011/ | https://kic-league.monday.com/protected_static/4643236/resources/3246782969/IMG_7262.JPG | https://kic-league.monday.com/protected_static/4643236/resources/3246802316/IMG_5479.jpg | https://kic-league.monday.com/protected_static/4643236/resources/3246841417/WhatsApp%20Image%202026-09-14%20.jpeg | Bootstrap | Paying Costumers - Present: The Kishon River Authority, Past: the Sharon River and Drainage Authority.

THE PROBLEM: THE 24-48 HOUR BLINDSPOT Traditional water management is reactive and open-loop. Telemetry only measures basic physical metrics, while critical organic indicators (BOD, COD, pathogens) require 24–48 hours of manual lab testing. By the time contamination is confirmed, minor spills have turned into multi-million-dollar ecological disasters, regulatory fines (EU WFD, SBTN, EPA), and public health crises. THE RPLACE SOLUTION Rplace shifts water governance from reactive cleanup to proactive prevention. Our hardware-agnostic engine fuses 5 scientific lenses—Chemical Quality, Biological Integrity, Ecological Connectivity, Climate Impact (Methane avoidance & Carbon), and eDNA Genomics. We cross-reference continuous IoT sensors, meteorological storm runoff models, industrial databases, and wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) to predict contamination risks up to 7 days in advance. PROVEN TRACTION & ROADMAP • Kishon River Authority: Phase 1 historical predictive modeling completed. Migrating in 2027 to live monitoring station connection for continuous real-time operational alerts. Hosting a joint municipal B2G webinar in October. • Hefer Valley Constructed Wetlands at Gan Yoshiya: Active operational deployment on the Nablus River, quantifying ecosystem services, methane avoidance, and carbon sequestration. • Strategic Pipeline: Advancing commercial project development alongside the Tel Aviv-Yafo Municipality and the Water Research Institute. BUSINESS MODEL & SCALING Operating on a SaaS model ($70K/year ARR per catchment), Rplace delivers dual ROI: protecting clients from heavy fines while generating audit-grade MRV compliance data to unlock green bonds and ESG capital. | 2026-09-15 12:59:35 UTC | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Next Grass | מתאים | No IP....Relevant UAE story, connects with the climate diplomacy objectives of CSP | v | Climate-resilient turfgrass engineered for arid, water-scarce regions and low maintenance | NextGrass is a deep-tech turfgrass company originating from Prof. Asaph Aharoni’s lab at the Weizmann Institute of Science. The company is engineering high-performance grass varieties for hot, arid and water-constrained environments, beginning with Paspalum vaginatum, a premium turf species already used in golf, sports and landscaping in saline and coastal environments. NextGrass uses genetic engineering and tissue-culture regeneration to introduce commercially valuable traits including improved water-use efficiency, enhanced salinity tolerance, delayed senescence, suppressed flowering, reduced growth height and longer-lasting greenness. The goal is turf that preserves the look and performance of natural grass while requiring substantially less irrigation and maintenance and enabling greater use of recycled, brackish or saline water. The technical platform has already transferred the desired traits in turfgrass. The trait-transfered plants were transferred from the lab and transferred into soil in greenhouse conditions, and are now progressing toward molecular validation. Materials and protocols have also been transferred to Rahan (Rosh Hanikra), where embryogenic cultures are continuing successfully, demonstrating that the R&D can move beyond the originating academic lab. Next pilots are with kibbutz Gaash, also a leading strategic partner in the turf grass sector in Israel. NextGrass will scale through an asset-light licensing model rather than owning sod farms. The company plans to license varieties and traits to regional growers, turf producers and breeding partners, generating royalties per installed area and enabling geographic expansion through established production and distribution networks. | Agritech | 1 | 2024 | 2 | Shirley Shahar | Plaza Capital | Co-CEO | https://www.linkedin.com/in/shirley-shahar-a02731a4/?lipi=urn%3Ali%3Apage%3Ad_flagship3_profile_view_base_contact_details%3B4TJ%2BlbBURBixKpB0TkHsEQ%3D%3D | https://kic-league.monday.com/protected_static/4643236/resources/3248599036/Shirley%20Headshot.png | PreSeed | NextGrass has secured US$1.2M in investment to date, primarily from Plaza Capital and Kibbutz Gaash. The company is now preparing for its next US$1M pre-seed round to support trait development, regulatory work, and pilot trials. | TRL 4-6 Validation / Lab-tested | POC in the lab | Other - please specify | Product development stage | NextGrass has advanced from academic proof-of-concept toward an externalized R&D and commercialization pathway. The trait-transfer protocols have been demonstrated across multiple turfgrass species, while Paspalum, Kikuyu and Bermuda material progressed through callus, regeneration and rooting work. Biological materials and protocols were transferred from the Weizmann lab to Rahan, where the plants have been growing well. Commercially, NextGrass developed a detailed UAE pilot proposal with ReFarm, explored field-validation and co-funding with Gaash/Granot, met Smith Seed regarding outdoor validation and turf collaboration, and opened a Saudi pipeline around golf, sports, parks and giga-projects. UAE regulatory discussions also began around a pathway for field pilots and eventual commercialization. NextGrass has validated demand directly with growers, turf companies and potential deployment partners. Gaash/Granot is exploring field validation and co-funding; Smith Seed discussed outdoor testing, propagation and trait stability; and a detailed UAE pilot was developed with ReFarm. In Saudi Arabia, Javier Saavedra of Eureka Corporate identified specific opportunities including King Salman Park, Green Riyadh/Green Saudi, Misk City, Expo 2030, 2034 World Cup stadiums, Red Sea hotels, NOFA Resort and the rapidly expanding hotel sector. He also proposed an introduction to Plantae, which has ~20 irrigation projects in Saudi Arabia, and to Real Madrid’s agronomy team to explore football applications and FIFA requirements. These discussions validate demand across landscaping, golf, hospitality, municipal greening and professional sports, while helping define the performance requirements for commercial pilots. | No | https://deserttechventures.com/pi-labs#verticals | https://kic-league.monday.com/protected_static/4643236/resources/3248842383/NextGrass%20Deck%20August%202026.pdf | https://kic-league.monday.com/protected_static/4643236/resources/3248837313/NextGrass_one%20pager.pdf | https://kic-league.monday.com/protected_static/4643236/resources/3248073675/Nextgrass%20Logo.png | Program Manager | 971544200663 | nidhi@deserttechventures.com | Nidhi | Sreemukundan | 2026-09-15 14:06:23 UTC | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Atid Sadot Agrotech LTD | over-qualified | B round | v | A tractor-mounted machine that controls weeds and pests in standing vegetable crops by using hot air instead of chemicals. | Blaze-Air is a tractor-mounted machine that controls weeds and pests in a standing vegetable crop with hot air, not chemicals. It applies a continuous stream of air at 160-250 °C vertically down over the crop at 3 km/h, a normal tractor working speed. Selectivity is the invention: a transplanted crop has an established root system and real thermal mass, while a germinating weed and a small-bodied insect have neither, so a calibrated combination of temperature, airflow and speed damages them and leaves the crop standing. The mechanics are only part of it. The settings that clean a field without harming the crop come from years of accumulated field work, held as company trade secrets: the same machine in other hands would not reach the same result. We deliver it as a service on a monthly fee for the machine's use, working every day at up to 4 hectares a day, and we build and operate the machines ourselves rather than licensing. We do not claim to remove agrochemicals entirely. We reduce them substantially: against weeds early in the crop, and against pests in the period approaching harvest - and it is there, in the treatments closest to picking, that the machine can replace up to 100% of the chemical. That window decides residue on the produce, re-entry intervals for workers, and whether a grower meets a buyer's specification. What is never applied is never leached into groundwater, never absorbed by the people who mix and spray, and never manufactured at all. It also cuts the reliance on low-wage manual weeding crews and their daily transport. The machine has completed a paid pilot with a grower supplying a major fast-food chain. At 4 hectares a day it already fits the growers we address first: organic farms, and medium-sized conventional growers of up to 100 hectares. A wider machine, to be designed on parts of this platform, is intended to reach 20 hectares a day. The method is protected by a granted Israeli patent, a PCT and a pending European application. | Agritech | 5 | 2024 | Other | B | About EUR 759,000 to date.

| Carbon Beasts by KVS | מתאים | Fits criteria, I dont think they are interesting | v | We scale demand for carbon removal by turning everyday emissions into climate action. | High-quality carbon removal cannot scale without scaling demand. Today, buying removal is still built for experts and large buyers: measuring emissions is slow and expensive, evaluating removal requires specialized knowledge, and accessing projects and registries is complex and often designed around large transactions. Carbon Beasts is building the infrastructure to change that. Our AI turns existing data into scientifically grounded carbon footprints in minutes and connects those emissions directly to high-quality carbon removal, enabling purchases at any scale, from an individual transaction to a global organization. We manage the complexity behind the scenes, from carbon measurement to removal sourcing and registry processes. We are starting with the events industry, where willingness to pay for climate action is high and every event brings together multiple potential buyers - organizers, suppliers and attendees. Our next step is to bring the same infrastructure into everyday transactions, integrating carbon measurement and removal directly at checkout across mobility, delivery, travel and commerce platforms. Our vision is to turn millions of everyday transactions into a new, distributed source of demand for high-quality carbon removal. | Climate | 5 | 2025 | 2 | Nachman Brodt | Noam Nachmany | CEO | Director | https://www.linkedin.com/in/nachi-brodt-136396124/ | https://www.linkedin.com/in/noam-nachmany-a7b24263/ | https://kic-league.monday.com/protected_static/4643236/resources/3249643148/DSC05556%20(1).jpg | https://kic-league.monday.com/protected_static/4643236/resources/3249670306/WhatsApp%20Image%202026-09-15%20at%2020.59.06.jpeg | Seed | Carbon Beasts has been developed and funded by KVS Ltd., an Israeli carbon-focused company with over a decade of experience across carbon measurement, reduction and removal.

| RoboChute Systems | מתאים | v | RoboChute autonomously cleans and maintains garbage chutes, improving indoor air quality while preventing blockages and reducing water, chemicals, and reactive maintenance. | RoboChute is an autonomous robotic platform that transforms garbage chutes from neglected waste shafts into clean, monitored and efficiently maintained infrastructure. Operating automatically during low use hours, the robot travels through the entire chute to perform deep cleaning, odor elimination and disinfection, while detecting blockages, clearing light jams and sending real time alerts when intervention is required. This improves indoor air quality and residents’ quality of life by reducing odors and exposure to contaminants originating in the waste system. By replacing manual and reactive maintenance with precise, data driven preventive care, RoboChute optimizes water and chemical use, reduces emergency service visits, prevents unnecessary truck rolls and extends the operational life of existing infrastructure. Its sensors continuously monitor robot performance, cable tension, brush activity and developing blockages, creating actionable data for building operators and enabling remote diagnostics and software updates. The system is already operating commercially in residential and mixed use buildings in Israel and has entered the United States market. In a 50 floor tower that previously experienced four to six blockages per week, RoboChute has detected more than 100 developing blockages, autonomously cleared 21 and eliminated hard blockages. Designed for rapid installation in existing buildings without replacing the chute, RoboChute offers a scalable recurring service for residential buildings, offices, hotels, hospitals and senior living facilities. By making preventive waste infrastructure maintenance affordable and continuous, RoboChute can improve health, reduce resource consumption and modernize millions of garbage chutes worldwide. | Other | 4 | 2024 | Other | Seed | Founder funding, angel and strategic investments, SAFE financing, and a non-dilutive grant from the Israel Innovation Authority.

Since then, we have remained focused on waste, recycling and better ways to address the environmental and health consequences of everyday disposal. RoboChute is the natural continuation of that mission. It is a green technology designed to treat one of the most contaminated and overlooked parts of any residential building, senior living facility, hotel or hospital: the garbage chute. Waste chute maintenance is a classic 4D job: dirty, dangerous, difficult and degrading. These are precisely the environments where robots should replace hazardous and degrading manual labor, protecting workers from contaminated waste, harsh chemicals and unsafe conditions while delivering more consistent results. Because the chute connects multiple floors through a single enclosed shaft, accumulated waste, odors and contaminants can affect the indoor environment throughout the building. RoboChute upgrades this existing infrastructure without requiring its replacement, transforming it into an autonomously cleaned, disinfected, monitored and maintained system. Our patent pending technology combines robotics, sensing, remote monitoring and preventive maintenance to improve indoor air quality, optimize water and chemical use, reduce emergency service visits and extend infrastructure life. The Climate Solutions Prize would help us independently measure and validate this environmental impact, accelerate production and bring healthier, cleaner and more sustainable waste infrastructure to buildings worldwide. | 2026-09-15 19:55:02 UTC | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| MEND | v | MEND concentrates a complete living soil microbiome - bacteria, fungi, protozoa and beneficial nematodes - into a liquid that runs through the irrigation a farmer already owns, so the soil feeds and protects the crop instead of chemicals. | Industrial agriculture stripped the living microbiome out of the soil. Without it plants cannot reach the nutrients already in the ground, so the farmer buys them from a bag every season: input costs are up 250% since the 1990s, agrochemical use has doubled, and 40% of the world's agricultural land is degraded. The nitrogen plants fail to take up leaves the field as nitrous oxide, one of the most potent greenhouse gases in agriculture. MEND's Starter Culture is a concentrated, living, full-spectrum soil microbiome: billions of bacteria, fungi, protozoa and beneficial nematodes with their metabolites intact. We grow it by solid-state fermentation in bioreactors that mimic soil conditions, concentrate it under low-stress filtration, and hold it in low-energy stasis until it meets the soil, where it activates within minutes. It applies through fertigation, foliar spray or seed coating, with no new equipment. Every competing approach fails at delivery: compost teas die within hours, single-strain inoculants cannot replicate an ecosystem, and compost is too heavy to move at scale. Keeping the whole food web alive through concentration is the problem the category never solved, and it is our trade-secret IP. Feedstock ratios steer which microbial functions develop, a finding we established with ecological microbiologist Dr. Keren Yanuka-Golub, which makes this a platform rather than a single product. Four proof-of-concept studies with the Ministry of Agriculture, MIGAL, Evogene and Volcani produced 14% higher nitrogen uptake in wheat, roughly 80% less Macrophomina infection in cotton, full onion yield on half the nitrogen, and suppressed broomrape in sunflower.

| Kitera IO | v | Kitera IO gives forest and agroforestry managers real-time, individual-tree health data to verify carbon sequestration, detect stress early, and meet the demands of a tightening regulatory environment. | Forests are the planet's largest land-based carbon sink, yet the data needed to verify their health and carbon sequestration remains unreliable. As carbon markets scale and forest-related regulations like EUDR and TNFD tighten, demand for ground-truth, tree-level MRV has reached an inflection point. Kitera IO, a Weizmann Institute spinoff, solves this with the Continuous Tree Intelligence (CTI) platform: IoT sensors that deliver continuous, individual-tree data on health and microclimate, enabling accurate MRV for carbon credit certification, early stress detection weeks before visible symptoms appear, and precision management across forestry and agroforestry. Clients include Luker Chocolate, the Weizmann Institute, and Tel Aviv Municipality, with advanced negotiations underway with Weyerhaeuser (US) and Garruchos (Argentina). The platform is backed by peer-reviewed science, field validation across cacao plantations in Colombia, planted forests in Israel, and boreal forests in Finland, and by an independent agronomist confirming detection of root damage weeks before visual symptoms appeared in a Tel Aviv tree adjacent to an active construction site, demonstrating utility beyond managed forests. | Agritech | 3 | 2024 | 1 | Benny Gil | CEO | https://www.linkedin.com/in/benny-gil-041890b/ | https://kic-league.monday.com/protected_static/4643236/resources/3251537530/21867551-0-_lora_2115184_1_0___.jpg | PreSeed | Equity: $525K pre-seed SAFE from Weizmann's WIN fund.
