Did you know wave energy could meet 66% of the U.S.'s electricity needs and produce twice the world’s current energy? Despite this promising potential, prior attempts to scale offshore wave energy production have proved costly and impractical. By innovating with an onshore system using existing structures, a new approach to wave energy could offer a more affordable, reliable, and eco-friendly solution to the world's growing energy demand. This talk reveals how one person’s passion turned a childhood dream into a clean energy innovation. See how waves could power a sustainable future. Inna Braverman founded Eco Wave Power at the age of 24. Under her leadership, the company installed its first grid-connected wave energy array and secured a significant project pipeline of 404.7MW. In July 2021 Inna Braverman led Eco Wave Power’s IPO on Nasdaq Capital Market (Stock Symbol: WAVE). Inna is recognized by Wired Magazine as one of the “Females Changing the World”, by Fast Company as one of the world’s “Most Creative People in Business” and is the winner of the United Nations “Global Climate Action Award”. For Inna, clean electricity is a very personal journey, as she was born two weeks before the Chernobyl Nuclear Disaster and suffered respiratory arrest due to the pollution in the region. Luckily, her mother, a nurse, came to her crib on time and gave her mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, which saved her life. She got a second chance in life and decided to devote it to the development of a clean and safe method of electricity production.
