What is Ossia?
Founded in 2013 by Hatem Zeine, Ossia is fundamentally redefining the paradigm of energy distribution through its Cota technology. Unlike conventional inductive charging, which requires physical contact, Cota utilizes a sophisticated, brand-new scientific approach to deliver power over the air, effectively creating a seamless, automated charging environment. The company's mission extends beyond mere convenience; it is deeply rooted in sustainability, aiming to mitigate the environmental and economic burdens associated with battery dependency. By enabling devices to receive power remotely, Ossia is positioning itself as a foundational layer for the next generation of smart homes, industrial sensors, and consumer electronics.

By leveraging its existing investor base and technical expertise, Ossia aims to establish Cota as the universal standard for power delivery, ultimately driving the industry toward a future where charging time and physical cables are rendered obsolete.
