Dedicated to the development and promotion of Ocean Wave Energy through technical and strategic support to companies R&D institutions and public entities companies, R&D institutions and public entities.

WavEC also strives to collaborate with companies and other institutions outside Portugal that recognise the necessity of institutions outside Portugal that recognise the necessity of International Cooperation, in particular those who seek an association with Portuguese companies/institutions.

WavEC co-ordinates or participates in R&D projects to support the development of ocean energy on national and international level

Objectives of

Portuguese Pilot zone:

Attract demonstration and industrial development to Portugal creation of an industrial cluster associated with wave power

Increase renewable energy production (recent update of the 2010 target from 39% to 45% for green electricityto 45% for green electricity consumption)

Promote innovation supported by R&D
