The award ceremony took place within the framework of the BlueInvest Day event, organized by the European Commission, and the award was delivered to Eco Wave Power by Virginijus Sinkevičius, Commissioner for the Environment, Oceans and Fisheries of the European Commission. Virginijus Sinkevičius congratulated Eco Wave Power and said that the “People’s Choice” Award has a special significance, as it shows the interest, by the general public, in the technology’s implementation.
“I am very grateful for winning the People’s Choice Award. Being a young woman, developing an innovative wave energy technology is not always easy, but your support and moments like this are what makes it all worthwhile. Thank you for supporting Eco Wave Power’s mission of changing the world, one wave at a time! And thank you to our shareholders, partners and team, we could not do it without you! I always say that passion is the greatest renewable energy source, and it is, even stronger than the power of the waves! Keep believing!” said Inna Braverman, CEO of Eco Wave Power, in her Award acceptance speech.
