Powermat Technologies

What Powermat Technologies does

Powermat Technologies is an Israel-based wireless charging technology company founded in 2006 that develops and licenses proprietary SmartInductive™ technology, a hybrid inductive-resonance platform capable of transferring power over distances up to 40 cm and through surfaces including walls and metallic environments. The company serves global OEMs across consumer electronics, automotive, robotics, medical devices, telecom/IoT, and industrial applications, with its technology embedded in over 800 million Samsung smartphones, 8 million General Motors vehicles, and 40 million accessories. Its product portfolio is organized into two families: the PMT series of custom DC-power solutions ranging from 40 W (PMT 100/200) up to 600 W (PMT 350), and the PMQ series of Qi-certified standard solutions for consumer and automotive (up to 15 W multi-coil) applications.

The company monetizes through three primary channels: (1) IP licensing under FRAND terms of its portfolio of more than 235 granted patents in over 20 countries, many of which are standard-essential for Qi wireless charging; (2) hardware sales of PMT/PMQ reference designs and turnkey platforms; and (3) engineering and certification services from design through Qi qualification. Strategic partnerships with Foxconn Interconnect Technology (manufacturing and GTM), First Libra (IP licensing), J21 Corporation (Japan distribution), and Powercast (long-range RF technology) extend its market reach. Powermat maintains offices in Tel Aviv (HQ), Shenzhen, and Gurgaon, serving customers including Samsung, General Motors, LG, Kyocera, Harman International, Flex, Panasonic Automotive, and Anker.

The business is privately held, with cumulative disclosed funding of approximately $110 million across rounds including an $80 million round in 2011 and a $25 million Series B in 2021 led by Foxconn Interconnect Technology and Hudson Sustainable Group. Recent strategic activity centers on patent licensing agreements (Panasonic Automotive 2025, Anker 2026) and expanding into higher-power applications such as industrial robotics, e-mobility, and 5G telecom infrastructure.

Scale indicators6 records

Recent moves8 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Direct peers

• Powercast: Powercast develops long-range RF wireless power technology and is both a Powermat partner (via 2023 strategic partnership) and a partial peer. While the companies collaborate commercially, Powercast's RF-based approach competes with Powermat's inductive/resonance technology for adjacent wireless power use cases.
• WiTricity: WiTricity is a pioneer in resonant wireless power transfer and a major player in wireless EV charging, directly competing with Powermat in high-power and longer-distance applications. Its resonance-based technology overlaps with Powermat's SmartInductive™ hybrid approach.
• Renesas Electronics (formerly IDT): Renesas, through its IDT acquisition, is one of the largest suppliers of Qi-certified wireless charging transmitters and receivers. Its product portfolio directly competes with Powermat's PMQ family in consumer electronics and smartphone applications.
• ConvenientPower: ConvenientPower is a Hong Kong-based wireless charging technology company that develops Qi-standard solutions and licenses IP. It is one of the more direct competitors to Powermat in Qi-certified wireless charging platforms, particularly for consumer electronics OEMs.

Regional players

• Belkin: Belkin is a major consumer brand for wireless charging pads, stands, and accessories, and a WPC licensee. While Belkin operates downstream in consumer accessories rather than licensing IP like Powermat, it is a relevant comparable for Qi consumer wireless charging market dynamics.

Broad incumbents

• NXP Semiconductors: NXP is a major supplier of automotive-grade wireless charging ICs and reference designs, directly competing with Powermat's PMQ automotive family. Its deep relationships with automotive Tier 1s and broad semiconductor portfolio make it a key incumbent competitor in the in-cabin charging market.
• Texas Instruments: Texas Instruments offers wireless power ICs and reference designs and is one of the broader incumbents in power management. Powermat's CTO previously held senior roles at TI, and the companies overlap in providing wireless power solutions for industrial and consumer applications.
• Qualcomm: Qualcomm developed WiPower and Halo wireless charging technologies and is a broad incumbent in mobile and automotive silicon. It competes with Powermat on both Qi-compatible IP and integrated wireless charging ICs, and has the scale to bundle wireless charging into broader platform offerings.

Others

• AirFuel Alliance: AirFuel Alliance is the industry consortium promoting inductive and resonant wireless charging standards alternative to WPC/Qi. Powermat participates in both ecosystems and competes/collaborates with AirFuel member companies in the broader wireless power standards landscape.

Emerging players

• Energous: Energous develops long-range RF-based wireless charging technology. While it addresses a different distance/range profile than Powermat, it competes for the broader wireless power opportunity, particularly in IoT and consumer applications.
