EVENT OVERVIEW

"There is no doubt that marine power will be an important pillar of future energy portfolios. This event provides an excellent basis to discuss where we stand in harvesting this great resource"

Helge Daebel, Sector Specialist, Marine Renewables,
Emerald Technology Ventures

The main objective of the International Wave Energy Summit 2009 is to push the Wave technology industry forward by addressing key challenges that hinder rapid development – access to funding, global opportunities, grid connection, environmental permits, maintenance strategies and more.

At the conference, you will learn how to optimise the available resources, revamp your business proposal, and take your wave technology all the way from development to deployment. In addition to focused presentations by utilities, regulatory bodies, investors, and environmentalists, you will discuss practical case studies from top wave developers such as Pelamis Wave Power, OceanLinx, Ocean Power Technologies (US), Orecon, Wave Dragon, etc, on lessons learnt and best practices.

Over the past decade, the Wave Energy Industry has seen significant changes across all areas with increasing support from escalating demands and international targets for renewable energy. After dedicated research, this conference commits to accelerate this development by providing a forum to bring together an entire support system JUST for wave energy – this is a one-of-a-kind opportunity to get face time with your industry.
