Zohar CleanTech wins first place in the Israel Air Force Association’s Ignition startup competition

Zohar CleanTech Wins First Place in the Israel Air Force Association’s Ignition Startup Competition The award recognizes Zohar’s innovative approach to treating mixed waste at the point where it is generated. Zohar CleanTech has won first place in Ignition, the Israel Air Force Association’s startup competition. The award was announced at the Association’s 2026 annual event. The recognition highlights Zohar’s work to rethink how waste is managed. Its ZoharX system is a modular, on-site solution designed to process unsorted mixed waste where it is generated. Using a controlled thermochemical process, the system converts waste into syngas that can support local energy generation, while reducing waste volume and the need to transport it to distant treatment and disposal facilities. For Zohar CleanTech, this award is an important acknowledgment of the team’s commitment to developing practical, decentralized solutions for more sustainable waste management. Zohar CleanTech thanks the Israel Air Force Association and the Ignition competition organizers for this recognition, and congratulates all the participating startups
