The Atlantic Area Programme, co-funded by the European Union through the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), supports transnational cooperation projects that advance sustainable development and regional cohesion in Atlantic coastal regions. The approved projects span key areas such as climate resilience, renewable energy, and blue innovation-reinforcing Eco Wave Power's role at the forefront of the global clean energy transition.

The AWESDI project is coordinated by the Centro de Investigación Mariña (CIM) of the University of Vigo and brings together an international consortium of top research institutions, private sector leaders, and government organizations from Portugal, Spain, France, and Ireland. In addition to Eco Wave Power, project partners include:

• Universidade do Porto (Portugal)
• Université Le Havre Normandie (France)
• University College Cork (Ireland)
• Marine Institute (Ireland)
• GEPS Techno (France)
• Groupe Legendre (France)
• Fundamar (Spain)
• Pôle Mer Bretagne Atlantique (France)
• Atlantic Technological University (Ireland)
• Xunta de Galicia (Spain)

As part of its contribution, Eco Wave Power will:

• Support feasibility studies for onshore and nearshore deployment sites in Portugal;
• Provide operational insights and performance data from existing wave energy installations;
• Validate the Sustainable Design Toolkit and inform permitting and deployment planning; and
• Contribute to the development of the Wave Energy Deployment Roadmap from an industry perspective.

"AWESDI is a powerful opportunity to bridge research, policy, and real-world deployment across the Atlantic coastline," said Inna Braverman, Founder and CEO of Eco Wave Power. "By participating in this ambitious collaboration, we will help accelerate the adoption of sustainable wave energy and further demonstrate the environmental and economic potential of our technology."

The funding will support technical development, cross-border collaboration, and environmental assessments in cooperation with leading research institutions and port stakeholders. It also aligns with Eco Wave Power's expanding pipeline in Portugal, where the Company is preparing for its first megawatt-scale installation.

This milestone adds to Eco Wave Power's growing international recognition. The Company's projects have received support from public funding programs including Horizon 2020, the Israeli Energy Ministry, Innovate UK, and the European Union's Regional Development Fund. Eco Wave Power's patented floaters convert wave motion into clean electricity by attaching to existing marine infrastructure, offering scalable and low-impact power generation for coastal communities.

Background on the Atlantic Area Programme's Third Call:

During the Monitoring Committee meeting held on July 3, 2025, in Galway, Ireland, the Interreg Atlantic Area 2021–2027 approved 24 cooperation projects for funding under its Third Call for Proposals. These projects were selected from 80 applications and represent a total investment of €55 million , of which 75% is funded by the programme .

The selected projects span three core themes:

• Blue innovation and competitiveness : 6 projects (total value €11.9M) focusing on SME training, algae-based biomass industries, digital integration in aquaculture, and prototyping activities to support startups and upskill a new generation of professionals in the blue economy.
• Blue and green environment : 13 projects (total value €31.6M), including initiatives to accelerate wave energy deployment, develop floating wind technologies, improve ocean monitoring, and enhance biodiversity, coastal resilience, and port-city integration.
• Blue sustainable and social tourism and culture : 5 projects (total value €11.6M) aimed at promoting sustainable tourism routes, preserving maritime heritage, and improving coastal tourism management.

AWESDI is one of the flagship projects within the blue and green environment theme , directly supporting the deployment of wave energy technologies and contributing to a cleaner, more sustainable Atlantic region.
