The Wave Energy Centre in Portugal

Wave W E Energy Centre C t - WaVEC W VEC Non-profit organisation, founded in 2003 Dedicated to the development and promotion of Ocean Wave Energy through technical and strategic support to companies R&D institutions and public entities. companies, entities 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
