Watergen Inc. (formerly Water-Gen) is an Israel-based global company that develops water-from-air solutions.

History[]

Founded in 2009 by entrepreneur and former combat commander Arye Kohavi and a team of engineers, Watergen was originally a startup conceived to provide easily accessible water to militaries worldwide.[1]

Following the company's acquisition in 2016 by businessman Michael Mirilashvili, Watergen shifted its focus tackling water scarcity and answering the needs of civilians following natural disasters.[2][3]

Watergen has since developed a line of products, suitable for different needs, from remote rural areas to commercial office buildings[4] and private homes. It has been used around the world by armies[3] as well as the public and private sectors in the United States,[5] Latin America,[6][7] India,[8][9] Vietnam,[10] Uzbekistan[11][12] and the African continent.[13][14]

The company's main office is located in Petah Tikva. It has an affiliate company in the United States, "Watergen USA".[citation needed]

Technology[]

Watergen's technology is an atmospheric water generator (AWG), which generates water from air at 250Wh per liter.[15]
