Wi-Charge in Israel has raised $20m to scale up its over-the-air infrared wireless power technology.
The Series C funding will be used to scale production, fast-track OEM integrations, and meet growing demand and brings the total raised to . This will take on Powercast, Energous and Ossia for supplying power via infrared beams at a distance of up to 10m.
The round was led by Standard Investments, the investment platform of Standard Industries which owns a wide range of materials and logistics companies.
“Wi-Charge is at an inflection point with innovative technology, strong IP, and market timing converging,” said Peter Marturano, Technology Sector Head at Standard Investments. “We believe Wi-Charge is uniquely positioned to lead the transformation to a wireless power future, and we’re excited to support the team as they scale to meet the potential for vast global demand.”

The round also include the EIC Fund, the investment arm of the European Innovation Council to accelerate the commercial rollout and expand its footprint across hospitality, smart home, commercial, retail, mobile device, and the fast-growing AR and wearables sectors.
The company has introduced multiple wirelessly powered display systems using its AirCord technology, including the Wi-Poster, a 31-inch large-format colour E-Ink display and a 9in video display for retail. These launches expand the portfolio of products supported by Wi-Charge wireless power, including smart home devices like Alfred smart locks.
“Wireless power has been an impossible dream for so long—and now it’s real. Deployed in the US, Europe and Asia, it is being used successfully by small and major brands, powering different devices from 30 feet away,” said Ori Mor, Co-Founder and Chief Business Officer of Wi-Charge.
“When people see it in action, there’s this moment when it clicks. Suddenly, what seemed like science fiction becomes reality, and cables immediately seem cumbersome and outdated. We’re seeing a wave of OEMs quickly moving to integrate wireless power, recognizing the value of offering freedom from wires and battery charging. This funding helps us move faster and scale to meet these new demands.”
“We’re unlocking a new era of truly wireless living—eliminating cables and batteries, one product at a time,” said Mor. “As AR glasses, next-gen mobile devices, and edge AI hardware go mainstream, they’ll all need reliable, long-range power. This funding helps us move faster to meet that need—and to make sure our partners are leading the charge, not playing catch-up.”
