Wireless Power Consortium

Berlin is calling. 🇩🇪

IFA 2026 is just a few months away, and we're looking forward to joining one of the world's most influential consumer technology events once again. Every year, IFA brings together the brands and ideas shaping what's next in tech, and this year, we have some exciting wireless power demonstrations planned.

Stay tuned!

IFA Innovation For All IFA is the global platform for future tech. We connect people, markets and ideas worldwide, all year round, to bring technological innovation to life.

Convenience shouldn't be a luxury.

In today's connected world, access to power has become just as essential as access to Wi-Fi. We expect our devices to be ready when we need them, whether we're travelling, working remotely, or simply taking a moment to enjoy a coffee.

The businesses and spaces that stand out are often the ones that anticipate those needs. A thoughtfully placed charging solution may seem like a small detail, but small details shape experiences.

As wireless power continues to evolve, convenient access to charging shouldn't be reserved for premium experiences. It should be integrated into the places we live, work, and move through every day.

The best technology doesn't ask for attention. It simply makes life a little easier.

Samsung's latest Bespoke AI kitchen reveal made one thing clear: the kitchen is disappearing.

Hidden handles. Flush appliances. Built-in ventilation. Technology is increasingly being designed to blend into the space instead of standing out.

Which makes one thing look increasingly out of place: cords stretched across the countertop.
If the future of the kitchen is seamless, shouldn't the appliances we use every day be, too?
That's the idea behind Ki. Compatible small appliances can receive power simply by being placed on a Ki-enabled surface - no plugging in required.

Perhaps the future of the kitchen isn't about introducing more technology, but integrating it so seamlessly that it fades into the background. ⚡🍳

On this day in 2007, Apple released the first-generation iPhone. 📱

At the time, the idea of a phone with a full touchscreen was considered revolutionary. For some, it was exciting. For others, it seemed unnecessary, impractical, or even a little absurd.
Why would anyone want a phone without physical buttons?

Fast forward to today, and it's almost impossible to imagine our devices any other way.

Innovation has a funny way of working like that.

Wireless charging is following a similar path. To some, the idea of simply placing your phone down to power it up still feels futuristic. To others, it's already become second nature. But if history has taught us anything, it's that the technologies that simplify our lives often go from "Why would I need that?" to "How did I ever live without it?"

One day, Qi2 will feel as obvious as a touchscreen phone.

When people talk about the "smart kitchen of the future," the conversation often revolves around apps, touchless faucets, and connected appliances.

But true innovation isn't just about adding more technology. It's about removing friction.
That's why one of the most exciting shifts happening in the kitchen isn't another screen or another app - it's the move toward cordless power.

Imagine a countertop where small appliances don't need to compete for outlet space. No cords draped across your prep area. No searching for the right plug. Simply place a compatible appliance on a Ki-enabled surface and get to work.

That's the promise of Ki.

Our Ki Cordless Kitchen standard delivers up to 2200 watts of wireless power to compatible kitchen appliances, bringing the same simplicity we've come to expect from other technologies into one of the busiest rooms in our homes. Smart and designed with modern living in mind, Ki represents a future where technology fades into the background and simply works.

The smartest kitchens of tomorrow won't just be more connected… They'll be more intuitive.

Not that long ago, making a phone call meant speaking to an operator, dialing a rotary phone, and hoping no one else in the house needed the line.

Today, the device in your pocket can navigate you across unfamiliar cities, connect you with loved ones on the other side of the world, capture life's biggest moments, and keep your entire workday moving.

The phone has transformed from a single-purpose tool into something we rely on countless times a day.

Shouldn't the way we power it evolve, too?

Qi2 was designed for the world we live in now: one where charging should feel simple, intuitive, and dependable every single time you set your device down.

What took decades to simplify is here: chargewithqi.com

From switchboards to seamless charging, we've come a long way. 📞🔋

What's your definition of "worth it"?

For some people, it's saving money.
For others, it's saving time.
And for many, it's simply making life a little easier.

The ROI of Qi2 looks different depending on who you ask:

💰 Saving money: One universal standard means fewer proprietary accessories and less need to replace chargers every time you switch devices.

⏱️ Saving time: Magnetic alignment ensures your devices connect perfectly, so you spend less time adjusting, unplugging, and hoping your found that charging sweet spot.

✨ Making life easier: One charging experience across compatible devices and brands means less clutter, fewer cables, and one less thing to think about in your day.

🌎 Environmental impact: Moving toward shared standards has the potential to reduce unnecessary accessory waste and encourage a more sustainable charging ecosystem over time.

Is Qi2 worth it?

If you value simplicity, convenience, and interoperability, we think the answer is yes.

But we'd love to hear from you: Which type of ROI matters most to you when it comes to everyday technology?

What’s next for wireless power? CES 2026 offered a pretty exciting glimpse. 😍

From Qi2 25W fast charging to the growing momentum behind Ki cordless kitchen technology, wireless power continues to move beyond convenience and into the fabric of everyday life.

In this interview from CES 2026, we explore how standards are helping shape the future of charging - making experiences more seamless, more reliable, and increasingly integrated into the devices and environments people use every day.

The best technology doesn’t just add features.. It quietly improves how we live.

Remember when wireless charging felt like a luxury feature?
Not anymore.

After years of sitting on wish lists, wireless charging is becoming something people simply expect to find in everyday life… At home, in airports, in public spaces, and increasingly in airplane seats.

And when a technology reaches that point, something interesting happens. It stops being treated like a premium and starts becoming part of the environment itself.

The best technology often becomes invisible. You stop looking for it because you simply expect it to be there: chargewithqi.com
