WavEC also strives to collaborate with companies and other
institutions outside Portugal that recognise the necessity of
International Cooperation, in particular those who seek an
association with Portuguese companies/institutions.
WavEC co-ordinates or participates in R&D projects to
support the development of ocean energy on national and
international level

Attract demonstration and
industrial development to
Portugal
creation
of an industrial cluster
associated with wave

Increase renewable energy
production (recent update
of the 2010 target from 39%
to 45% for green electricity
consumption)
Promote innovation
