Eco Wave Power Global AB ADR Dossier
Qualitative Analysis
Business overview
Eco Wave Power Global AB (publ) (NASDAQ: WAVE) is a pioneering, Swedish-headquartered onshore wave energy technology company. The company has developed and patented a smart, cost-efficient Wave Energy Converter (WEC) technology that converts ocean and sea waves into clean, reliable electricity. Unlike complex offshore systems, Eco Wave Power's point absorber floaters are designed to be attached directly to existing coastal infrastructure such as breakwaters, jetties, and piers. This nearshore/onshore approach significantly reduces installation and maintenance costs, simplifies permitting pathways, and enables power generation in close proximity to coastal cities, ports, and energy-intensive infrastructure. The company operates the first grid-connected wave energy power station in Israel (co-funded by EDF Renewables) and has recently completed its first U.S. wave energy pilot project at the Port of Los Angeles in collaboration with Shell Marine Renewable Energy.

Strategic Initiatives
Growth programs, investments, and their expected impact
Integrating artificial intelligence, digital twins, and simulation technologies to optimize wave energy conversion. The initiative includes joining the NVIDIA Inception program and exploring WaveGPT development with Florida Atlantic University and the University of Michigan to position wave energy as a sustainable power layer for coastal AI data centers.
Expected impact: Enhances energy capture efficiency, enables predictive maintenance, and opens commercial opportunities with high-density coastal computing infrastructure.
Advancing a robust 404.7 MW global project pipeline with planned commercial-scale deployments in Portugal, Taiwan, India, and South Africa. This includes transitioning from pilot-scale floaters to larger, multi-unit commercial arrays.
Expected impact: Establishes utility-scale operational presence, increases capacity factors, and drives long-term commercial revenue generation.
