Tel Aviv-based Eco Wave Power was one of four companies that received a United Nations Climate Action Award at its COP25 Climate Change Conference in Madrid in the category of Women for Results.

Headed by Inna Braverman, Eco Wave Power was described by the UN as “A world-leading project generating clean energy from the ocean, co-founded and led by a female CEO.”

Founded in 2011, Eco Wave Power has developed a patented, smart and cost-efficient technology for turning ocean and sea waves into green electricity. The system uses an array of floaters connected to the grid in accordance with a power purchase agreement (PPA).
