| ● | Collaboration Agreement Signed Between Eco Wave Power and The Israeli Ministry of Defense and The Israeli Navy - On August 17, 2021 Eco Wave Power announced that its Israeli subsidiary, Eco Wave Power Ltd. has entered into a collaboration agreement with the Procurement Administration in the Israeli Ministry of Defense for the Israeli Navy (the “Navy”), to examine the feasibility of installing the Eco Wave Power technology at Navy bases. |
3
According to the terms of the agreement, Eco Wave Power will immediately begin the procurement and deployment of wave measuring systems to collect extended wave data, in one to three potential locations in the Navy bases, while the Navy will secure all permits for the deployment of the wave measuring equipment.
The Navy’s specialized diving team will install the measurement equipment in the territorial waters of the Navy’s bases. At the end of the measurement period, Eco Wave Power will share the information collected with the Navy, which, in turn, will test the applicability of the technology in line with the prevailing waves in the selected sites. Then, Eco Wave Power and the Navy will jointly analyze the results, and create energy production forecasts, based on such analysis.
Upon identifying the most suitable locations for the installation, and provided that the technology is found to be feasible for the proposed locations, the Navy and Eco Wave Power will use their best efforts to work towards the next step of the collaboration, which is the potential deployment of the Eco Wave Power technology for production of clean electricity for the Navy bases.
| ● | Portugal - On August 19, 2021 Eco Wave Power announced that its Portuguese subsidiary, EW Portugal- Wave Energy Solutions Unipessoal Lda. (“EW Portugal”), has received an installation and grid connection permit of 1MW in the form of a Small-Production Unit registration approval (registration number 5089) from the Portuguese Directorate-General for Energy and Geology (DGEG). This registration approval is required for the installation and grid connection of a 1MW pilot project at the Barra do Douro breakwater in Porto, Portugal. |
The Small-Production Unit registration approval is the first permit required by EW Portugal to proceed with the actual installation and grid connection of a first 1MW wave energy power station on the ocean side of the Barra do Douro breakwater.
The 1MW project is planned to be the first stage of the 20MW Concession Agreement entered into with Administração dos Portos do Douro, Leixões e Viana do Castelo, S.A. (“APDL”) in April 2020, for the potential usage of four locations owned and operated by APDL.
A Word From the CEO
The second quarter of 2021 has been an eventful period for Eco Wave Power Global.
In the operational aspect, we have fully completed the breakwater’s cement works for the EWP-EDF One project and have transported the project’s conversion unit to the implementation site.
Currently, the Company is progressing with the production of the floaters and is in the process of installing the hydraulic pipes, building an access platform for the conversion unit, working towards finalizing the grid-connection works, and performing other necessary works on the land side of the project. Once the wave energy array will be operational and gridconnected, it will be the first time in the history of Israel that wave energy will officially connected to the national electric grid.
Whereas, in Portugal the company appointed Pedro Ernesto Ferreira as head of our Portuguese operations, shortly after we announced the incorporation of a subsidiary in Portugal, which commenced the licensing process for first 1MW of the 20MW Concession Agreement entered with APDL in 2020.
On August 19, 2021 we were pleased to announce that we received an installation and grid connection permit of 1MW in the form of a Small-Production Unit registration approval (registration number 5089) from the Portuguese Directorate-General for Energy and Geology (DGEG).

The Small-Production Unit registration approval is the first permit required by EW Portugal to proceed with the actual installation and grid connection of a first 1MW wave energy power station on the ocean side of the Barra do Douro breakwater.
In addition, the Company installed a Spotter Buoy in proximity to Barra do Douro breakwater, with the purpose of collecting wave data for Eco Wave Power’s planned wave energy project in the region.
We have also continued our new-markets penetration strategy with the signing of a memorandum of understanding with the Port of Pecem in Brazil for the joint exploration and pre-feasibility studies for a potential wave energy project of up to 9MW and participating in two accelerator programs: In Spain (Rising UP in Spain) and in the UK (Cleantech Bootcamp 2021). Both programs present a unique opportunity to establish partnerships and to grow in two of the world’s most attractive markets for wave energy. Spain has 8,000 km of coastline and set an ambitious target of 74% renewables by 2030, while the UK has over 12,500 km of coastline and a target of reaching net-zero by 2050.

While on August 17, 2021 Eco Wave Power announced that its Israeli subsidiary, Eco Wave Power Ltd. entered into a collaboration agreement with the Procurement Administration in the Israeli Ministry of Defense for the Israeli Navy (the “Navy”), to examine the feasibility of installing Eco Wave Power technology at Navy bases, which may open a whole new potential market sector for wave power.
In the same time, during this quarter, we were able to reinforce the Company’s capital position, through the winning of three different grants: an EU grant (as part of the ILIAD Consortium, The European Green Deal), a grant from Wohl Clean Growth Alliance and a third grant from Innovate UK. We believe this reinforces the European interest and support for the wave energy sector.
In addition, we have dual listed our Company to the Nasdaq US (where our ADSs trade under ticker symbol: WAVE) and raised 9.2 million USD (around SEK 80 million), before deducting underwriting discounts, commissions, and other offering expenses.
The newly raised funds meet most of the near future capital requirements and enable us to accelerate our commercialization plan.
I would like to finalize my letter by welcoming the new shareholders of Eco Wave Power Global, following our listing on Nasdaq US on the first of July 2021.
Thank you for joining our journey of changing the world, one wave at a time!

| ● | Projects Pipeline and Penetration to New Markets - On August 17, 2021 Eco Wave Power announced that its Israeli subsidiary, Eco Wave Power Ltd. entered into a collaboration agreement with the Procurement Administration in the Israeli Ministry of Defense for the Israeli Navy (the “Navy”), to examine the feasibility of installing Eco Wave Power technology at Navy bases. According to the terms of the agreement, Eco Wave Power will immediately begin the procurement and deployment of wave measuring systems to collect extended wave data, in one to three potential locations at the Navy bases, while the Navy will secure all permits for the deployment of the wave measuring equipment. |
The Navy’s specialized diving team will install the measurement equipment in the territorial waters of the Navy’s bases. At the end of the measurement period, Eco Wave Power will share the information collected with the Navy, which, in turn, will test the applicability of the technology in line with the prevailing waves in the selected sites. Then, Eco Wave Power and the Navy will jointly analyze the results, and create energy production forecasts, based on such analysis.
Upon identifying the most suitable locations for the installation, and provided that the technology is found to be feasible for the proposed locations, the Navy and Eco Wave Power will use their best efforts to work towards the next step of the collaboration, which is the potential deployment of the Eco Wave Power technology for the production of clean electricity for the Navy bases.
| ● | Portugal - On August 19, 2021 Eco Wave Power announced that its Portuguese subsidiary, EW Portugal- Wave Energy Solutions Unipessoal Lda. (“EW Portugal”), received an installation and grid connection permit of 1MW in the form of a Small-Production Unit registration approval (registration number 5089) from the Portuguese Directorate-General for Energy and Geology (DGEG). This registration approval is required for the installation and grid connection of a 1MW pilot project at the Barra do Douro breakwater in Porto, Portugal. |
The Small-Production Unit registration approval is the first permit required by EW Portugal to proceed with the actual installation and grid connection of a first 1MW wave energy power station on the ocean side of the Barra do Douro breakwater.
The 1MW project is planned to be the first stage of the 20MW Concession Agreement entered into with Administração dos Portos do Douro, Leixões e Viana do Castelo, S.A. (“APDL”) in April 2020, for the potential usage of four locations owned and operated by APDL.

| Eco Wave Power Global AB (publ) | 1H Report 2021 | 5 |
The second quarter of 2021 has been an eventful period for Eco Wave Power Global. In the operational aspect, we have fully completed the breakwater’s cement works for the EWP-EDF One project and have transported the project’s conversion unit to the implementation site.
Currently, the Company is progressing with the production of the floaters and is in the process of installing the hydraulic pipes, building an access platform for the conversion unit, working towards finalizing the grid connection works and performing other necessary works on the land side of the project. Once the wave energy array will be operational and grid connected, it will be the first time in the history of Israel that wave energy will officially connect to the national electric grid.
Whereas, in Portugal the company appointed Pedro Ernesto Ferreira as head of our Portuguese operations, shortly after we announced the incorporation of a subsidiary in Portugal, which commenced the licensing process for first 1MW of the 20MW Concession Agreement entered with APDL in 2020. On August 19, 2021 we were pleased to announce that we received an installation and grid connection permit of 1MW in the form of a Small-Production Unit registration approval (registration number 5089) from the Portuguese Directorate-General for Energy and Geology (DGEG).
The Small-Production Unit registration approval is the first permit required by EW Portugal to proceed with the actual installation and grid connection of a first 1MW wave energy power station on the ocean side of the Barra do Douro breakwater.
In addition, the Company installed a Spotter Buoy in proximity to Barra do Douro breakwater, with the purpose of collecting wave data for Eco Wave Power’s planned wave energy project in the region.
We have also continued our new-markets penetration strategy with the signing of a memorandum of understanding with the Port of Pecem in Brazil for the joint exploration and pre-feasibility studies for a potential wave energy project of up to 9MW and participating in two accelerator programs: in Spain (Rising UP in Spain) and in the UK (Cleantech Bootcamp 2021).
| Eco Wave Power Global AB (publ) | 1H Report 2021 | 6 |
Both programs present a unique opportunity to establish partnerships and to grow in two of the world’s most attractive markets for wave energy. Spain has 8,000 km of coastline and set an ambitious target of 74% renewables by 2030, while the UK has over 12,500 km of coastline and a target of reaching net-zero by 2050.
While on August 17, 2021 Eco Wave Power announced that its Israeli subsidiary, Eco Wave Power Ltd. entered into a collaboration agreement with the Procurement Administration in the Israeli Ministry of Defense for the Israeli Navy (the “Navy”), to examine the feasibility of installing Eco Wave Power technology at Navy bases, which may open a whole new potential market sector for wave power.
In the same time, during this quarter, we were able to reinforce the Company’s capital position, through the winning of three different grants: an EU grant (as part of the ILIAD Consortium, The European Green Deal), a grant from Wohl Clean Growth Alliance and a third grant from Innovate UK. We believe this reinforces the European interest and support for the wave energy sector.
In addition, we have dual listed our Company on the Nasdaq US (where our ADSs trade under ticker symbol: WAVE) and raised 9.2 million USD (around SEK 80 million), before deducting underwriting discounts, commissions and other offering expenses.
The newly raised funds meet most of the near future capital requirements and enable us to accelerate our commercialization plan.
I would like to finalize my letter by welcoming the new shareholders of Eco Wave Power Global, following our listing on Nasdaq US on the first of July, 2021.
Thank you for joining our journey of changing the world, one wave at a time!
Kind Regards,
Inna Braverman
CEO

| Eco Wave Power Global AB (publ) | 1H Report 2021 | 7 |
The second quarter of 2021 has been an eventful period for Eco Wave Power Global. In the operational aspect, we have fully completed the breakwater’s cement works for the EWP-EDF One project and have transported the project’s conversion unit to the implementation site.
Currently, the Company is progressing with the production of the floaters and is in the process of installing the hydraulic pipes, building an access platform for the conversion unit, working towards finalizing the grid connection works and performing other necessary works on the land side of the project. Once the wave energy array will be operational and grid connected, it will be the first time in the history of Israel that wave energy will officially connect to the national electric grid.
Whereas, in Portugal the company appointed Pedro Ernesto Ferreira as head of our Portuguese operations, shortly after we announced the incorporation of a subsidiary in Portugal, which commenced the licensing process for first 1MW of the 20MW Concession Agreement entered with APDL in 2020. On August 19, 2021 we were pleased to announce that we received an installation and grid connection permit of 1MW in the form of a Small-Production Unit registration approval (registration number 5089) from the Portuguese Directorate-General for Energy and Geology (DGEG).
The Small-Production Unit registration approval is the first permit required by EW Portugal to proceed with the actual installation and grid connection of a first 1MW wave energy power station on the ocean side of the Barra do Douro breakwater.
In addition, the Company installed a Spotter Buoy in proximity to Barra do Douro breakwater, with the purpose of collecting wave data for Eco Wave Power’s planned wave energy project in the region.
We have also continued our new-markets penetration strategy with the signing of a memorandum of understanding with the Port of Pecem in Brazil for the joint exploration and pre-feasibility studies for a potential wave energy project of up to 9MW and participating in two accelerator programs: in Spain (Rising UP in Spain) and in the UK (Cleantech Bootcamp 2021).
| Eco Wave Power Global AB (publ) | 1H Report 2021 | 8 |
Both programs present a unique opportunity to establish partnerships and to grow in two of the world’s most attractive markets for wave energy. Spain has 8,000 km of coastline and set an ambitious target of 74% renewables by 2030, while the UK has over 12,500 km of coastline and a target of reaching net-zero by 2050.
While on August 17, 2021 Eco Wave Power announced that its Israeli subsidiary, Eco Wave Power Ltd. entered into a collaboration agreement with the Procurement Administration in the Israeli Ministry of Defense for the Israeli Navy (the “Navy”), to examine the feasibility of installing Eco Wave Power technology at Navy bases, which may open a whole new potential market sector for wave power.
In the same time, during this quarter, we were able to reinforce the Company’s capital position, through the winning of three different grants: an EU grant (as part of the ILIAD Consortium, The European Green Deal), a grant from Wohl Clean Growth Alliance and a third grant from Innovate UK. We believe this reinforces the European interest and support for the wave energy sector.
In addition, we have dual listed our Company on the Nasdaq US (where our ADSs trade under ticker symbol: WAVE) and raised 9.2 million USD (around SEK 80 million), before deducting underwriting discounts, commissions and other offering expenses.
The newly raised funds meet most of the near future capital requirements and enable us to accelerate our commercialization plan.
I would like to finalize my letter by welcoming the new shareholders of Eco Wave Power Global, following our listing on Nasdaq US on the first of July, 2021.
Thank you for joining our journey of changing the world, one wave at a time!
Kind Regards,
Inna Braverman
