It's no secret that the worldwide wave power resource is huge. In the UK alone, the Renewables Advisory Board estimated that wave energy could produce as much as 20% of the UK's energy needs. Future Energy Solutions have recently estimated the global power potential to be as much as 80,000 Twh/y. This is the same order of magnitude as world electrical consumption.

But thuogh we all know the figures, we also know there's a long way to go before we see real successes. And for your success, you need to act now...

With Wave Hub and EMEC already fully booked, it's clear that prototype testing is really taking off making this industry more than ready to take the next step towards commercialisation. However, the challenges facing the successful exploitation of the massive resource of wave energy are not to be underestimated.

With more than fifty devices set to go on the market, competition is about to get fierce - and inevitably, the funding available is already regarded as limited making the demand for proven results even more critical than ever.

All of this makes the perfect timing for the world's first wave-exclusive event. We will examine the specific challenges being faced by you and the solutions you need to ensure real success.

Whether it's raising sufficient project finance, gaining a consenting licence, connecting to the grid or negotiating the technical leap there are a whole host of challenges that you need to address right now!
