Quantum Art was spun out of Prof. Roee Ozeri's group at the Weizmann Institute of Science and is led by CEO and co-founder Dr. Tal David, CTO Dr. Amit Ben Kish and CSO Prof. Roee Ozeri. The company focuses on trapped-ion quantum computing and has developed proprietary techniques for multi-qubit gates, scalable modular architectures, and robust quantum error correction. It is advancing a multi-core roadmap including Perspective, a planned 1,000-qubit system aimed at commercial-scale deployment. Quantum Art is transitioning toward commercialization with plans for a Quantum-as-a-Service (QaaS) platform that lets customers move from algorithm development and co-design to execution on its hardware. The company said it is expanding internationally and building partnerships to support early customer adoption while hiring to support development and business growth.

Kando provides a solution that leverages proprietary machine learning models trained on in-house IoT wastewater data to optimize wastewater quality management. The platform enables significant cost savings, enhances wastewater reuse, and supports sustainable urban water management in cities across the US and Europe. The company intends to use the new funds to drive global expansion, focusing on the US and Europe. Kando raised $10M in the latest round, bringing total capital raised to $30M. The company is based in Tel Aviv and was founded by Zohar Scheinin and Ari Goldfarb. Kando develops an end-to-end wastewater smart management solution combining hardware, cloud software and expert services to monitor key wastewater quality parameters in real time. Its core product is a cloud-based SaaS platform that tracks and reports wastewater collection-system metrics and supports big-data analytics. The company says it will use new funding for product and business development and to continue improving its monitoring and analytics tools. Kando was founded in 2011 by CEO Ari Goldfarb and employs a team of about 20 industry veterans across environmental, chemical and process engineering, project management and software development. The announcement does not disclose revenue or user metrics.

Magnus Metal has developed a "digital casting" process that slices designs into layers and creates ceramic forms 4–20 mm thick into which molten metal is dripped and built up layer by layer. Each new layer melts the previous one to bond material and allow impurities to float out, yielding parts the company says have fewer defects and are 10%–20% stronger than traditionally cast parts. The system is positioned as faster than 3D printing, able to use customer-specified materials, and its ceramic bases can be reused for a finite number of parts. Magnus says the approach removes the need for expensive tooling used in sand casting, making lower-volume, complex parts more cost-effective while acknowledging simple parts will still favor sand casting. The company plans to sell both machines and proprietary ceramic feedstock, targeting $500,000 to $1 million of recurring revenue per machine. Magnus Metal has raised a $74 million Series B to support industrialization this year and to begin beta testing at the start of next year.

Bluewhite builds retrofittable autonomous robots sold as a robots-as-a-service offering that can operate existing tractors. It develops both hardware (branded Pathfinder) and a service/data stack (branded Compass) that use AI, computer vision, and big-data analytics to deliver autonomous operation and field insights. The system can be installed in one day as an "IKEA kit" at local service centers, and retrofitted tractors remain operable by humans when needed. Customers range from small family farms to 20 of the largest year-round permanent crop growers in the U.S., with strongest traction in California and Washington. Bluewhite's robots have cumulatively logged 50,000 hours of autonomous farming across 150,000 acres, and customers typically subscribe on five-year contracts. The company plans to invest the new funding into R&D for Compass and Pathfinder and to expand in current and new markets to address labor shortages and improve asset utilization. Blue White Robotics develops an autonomous farm platform that delivers Robots-as-a-Service (RaaS), retrofitting existing farming infrastructure with intelligent autonomous algorithms. Its robot tractors perform tasks including spraying, harvesting, disking, and seeding while improving productivity, precision, and worker safety. The platform collects and distributes operational data to create new services aimed at increasing yields and reducing inputs. The company says it will use the new funding to accelerate adoption, expand U.S. sales, and attract key talent for its international team. Blue White Robotics emphasizes values of "Fellowship, Love of the land, and Innovation" in its mission to revolutionize agriculture through autonomy. The company has received $50M of investment since its inception in 2017. Blue White Robotics provides an autonomy platform that integrates multiple robot types, including aerial drones, autonomous tractors, and driverless shuttles. Rather than building its own autonomy stack, the company focuses on "autonomy now," enabling customers to manage fleets of heterogeneous robots through a single platform and a management console designed for non-technical users such as farmers and hospital administrators. In agriculture the company sells after-market autonomy kits that let farmers put existing tractors onto its platform and supports large growers with aerial spraying for pollination and crop care. Blue White Robotics aims to complement other autonomous vehicle and drone companies by providing orchestration, data collection, and vendor/customer workflows rather than competing directly. The company has raised $10 million in funding and employs about 75 people. Its vehicles run autonomous shuttles at Bar Ilan University and Tel HasShomer Hospital and were used in 2020 to deliver COVID-19 equipment, samples, and tests.
