Israel Commits $2M to Blue-Tech Energy Initiative, Boosting Wave Power Sector — Eco Wave Power Global AB (publ)

Event summary

Israel's Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure and the Israel Innovation Authority announced a NIS 6 million ($2 million) initiative to advance Blue-Tech energy technologies, including wave energy.
Eco Wave Power operates Israel's only grid-connected wave energy power station at Jaffa Port, which has maintained zero downtime since early 2025.
The company's technology aligns with the new Blue-Tech program, focusing on renewable energy generation and AI-powered energy management.
Earlier this month, Eco Wave Power was included in California's Final SB 605 Consultant Report, validating its wave energy project at the Port of Los Angeles.

The big picture

Israel's $2 million Blue-Tech initiative underscores the growing international recognition of wave energy as a viable component of the future clean energy mix. The program aligns with broader trends in renewable energy innovation, particularly the integration of AI-driven technologies to optimize energy production and management. Eco Wave Power's inclusion in California's SB 605 report further validates the sector's commercial potential, positioning it as a key player in the transition toward sustainable coastal infrastructure.
