Eco Wave Power is the first and only wave energy company to ever win theFrost & SullivanProduct Award for developing and implementing an all-round solution for reliable and cost-efficient energy harvesting from waves. During the year of 2012, EWP presented significant progress by constructing itssmall scale power plant(checked and approved by the Hydro Mechanic Institute in Kiev), As well as aMedium-Scale Power plantwhich is implemented in the Black Sea, producing 10KW.

EWP has advanced technical capabilities, and a strong financial backing, which will enable the company to become a dominant player in the ocean energy market.

"The cooperation between EWP and OUC was made possible thanks to the Road Show toChina that was organized by MATIMOP-The Israeli Industry Center for R&D and the Office of the Chief Scientist at the Ministry of Trade and Labor,"said David Leb, the founder of Eco Wave Power.

Ms. Merav Tapiero, the Program Manager of the Israel-China Industrial R&D Cooperation Framework at MATIMOP, elaborated that:"A delegation of Seven Israeli companies waschosen to participate in a clean energy Road Show toChina, during mid September. Eco Wave Power, which specializes in wave energy generation, was one of the companies that took part in this activity organized by MATIMOP (on behalf of the chief Scientist office in the Trade & Labor Ministry). The Road Show took place inBeijing,Tianjin,ChangzhouandJinan. During which, the Israeli Companies met Chinese companies for the purpose of establishing technological and industrial collaboration.The uniqueness of Eco Wave Power is in its innovative idea to develop and implement different floaters shapes for every location of implementation. Moreover, as opposed to offshore wave energy solutions, Eco Wave Powercameupwithanenergyconversionsystemthatislocatedoutsideofthewate,rtherebyimproving reliability.We welcome the agreement between Eco Wave Power and theOceanUniversityofChina, and wish Eco Wave Power good luck inthe promotion of its technology."

The EWP technology is especially suitable for implementation inChina asithas 18,000 km of coastline, and at least 6000 islands. In addition, according to the CEC (China's Electricity Council) the country will face power supply shortages this year due to a shortage of coal. The CEC estimates that the power shortages will reach 40 million kilowatts in 2012, compared with only 30 million kilowatts shortage in 2011.

Eco Wave Power's ocean energy power plants will be a perfect and cost-efficient solution to China's energy difficulties.
