Next-generation wave and tidal energy solutions captured the immense, untapped power of the ocean through advanced designs that delivered reliable, sustainable, and locally sourced electricity. These innovations were critical to diversifying energy systems, reducing fossil fuel dependence, and enhancing resilience, particularly for coastal economies and small island developing states.

The webinar showcased the groundbreaking technologies of Swedish innovators who led the way in next-generation wave energy solutions and the pathways they took to bring these technologies from innovation to implementation in Asia and the Pacific.

The webinar was jointly organized by ADB, the Embassy of Sweden in Manila, and Business Sweden in the Philippines.

The knowledge event is the 11th of a series organized by the Emerging Areas Team, Energy Sector Office. The Emerging Areas created under ADB’s New Operating Model aims to operationalize frontier technologies and integrated solutions, foster and drive innovation in policy and operational issues, catalyze thought leadership and future looking bank wide initiatives for future business, and collaborate across departments for
