Helping feed the world and making it a better place.

Israel is the world leader in water reclamation and in 2010, its exports of water-saving technologies were $1.5 billion. While Israel treats 80% of its sewage and 60% of the water used for irrigation is reclaimed water, the next largest water reclamation reclaims only 17% of its water. Israel pioneered in irrigation technology and micro-irrigation systems are used in 80% of its irrigated areas.

Yokneam is located at the edge of the Jezre'el Valley, in the heart of where Israel's agricultural pioneers "made the desert bloom". Since the 1950s Yokneam and the surrounding communities have been involved in agricultural and environmental research. So it is only natural that much of Israel's clean tech and agrotech is developed here.

Apollo-Power

Over one billion people in the world live without electricity. We’re working to change that by developing innovative technologies to harness the power of solar energy.

Our Flagship Developments:

Solar Home Systems that produce, use, store, and even sell energy off grid. Our durable design can withstand all weather conditions (IP65). The changeable battery can store up to 1280W to meet your needs. With our modular solution, you can chain systems to increase your power capacity. Use the solar panel you already own, and connect up to 3 panels at a total input of 300W

Solar Films that transform any surface under the sun into a source of energy. The Solar Films are expected to weigh less than 1 kg per square meter, thereby overcoming the obstacle of the current technology, which is cumbersome, heavy and fragile or extremely expensive.

Due to their unique cell architecture and simple manufacturing process, our Solar Films are designed to be manufactured in standard roll-to-roll machines (R2R), and will face the challenge of high production, shipping, installation and transmission costs which make solar energy a capital intensive investment that is not shared by the general population.

AquaHD
AquaHD

AQUA HD was founded with the simple understanding that nature knows best and can be improved upon for human needs. The company has developed a simple breakthrough system that operates under low pressure – consuming significantly less energy than similar systems while shortening the lifecycle of the separation process.

AQUA HD started operating in the TerraLab incubator at the end of 2015. Since then, we have made significant progress developing prototypes and testing them in leading sewage plants with outstanding results. The company is in the process of entering joint venture agreements in Israel and abroad, including with national water companies. Additional prototypes with enhanced features are currently being developed for testing in other potential applications.

AQUA HD has designed and developed an ingenious water separation and filtration system that draws on the natural science of fluids in motion. The unique structure of our closed system marks a technological breakthrough in the way centrifugal and drag forces are controlled in high flow. By applying the principles of fluid dynamics and fractal geometry found in natural phenomena - from spiral mollusk shells to hurricane bands - we are able to achieve unprecedented results in the removal of suspended solids from water.

 

Our out-of-the-box technology is capable of separating particles with high size variability – without significantly reducing the efficacy with increased dirt load, and without the need to make adjustments or stop the separation process.

The system operates under low pressure of 5m; therefore consuming only 20% of the energy compared to existing separation systems.  It’s highly effective and dramatically shortens cycle time of the separation process.

Arugga AI Farming
Arugga AI Farming

Arugga is developing an autonomous robot for treating and monitoring individual plants in greenhouses. Our mechanical pollination module aims to replace the work of dwindling labor forces in countries where pollination is done manually. And it will also replace the work of bumblebees, the most widely used pollination solution, thus solving sensitivity to environmental conditions and pesticides, and preventing the spread of viruses.

Battery Switchy
Battery Switchy

Electric scooters are clean and quite vehicles that consume little energy, and therefore have minimal environmental impact.  But… they have riding range limit of only 30 km. Switchy has developed a universal powerful batteries and batteries swapping machines that are located everywhere in the city with available charged batteries. No more worried rider, under constant fear of being stuck in the middle of the city with a depleted battery. No more “Range Anxiety” which is the main bottle neck on the road for a  world wide market expansion of light e-vehicles.
