Inna founded Eco Wave Power, a renewable energy company with patented technology for the generation of electrons from the ocean and sea waves, at the age of 24 along with David Leb. It soon became the first Israeli company to be listed on Nasdaq Stockholm, after a chance meeting with Nasdaq VP Adam Kostyal at a pool party. It was recently listed in the US as well. 

You’ll find her name in Wired’s list of Females Changing the World, Fast Company’s 2020 list of Most Creative People, and on the prestigious recipient list of C40’s Women for Climate Award.  

There are many, many more awards and recognitions attached to her name, so go check out her LinkedIn page for the full gamut.

🎧 New podcast episode: 

Inna Braverman, co-founder and CEO of Eco Wave Power: 

“Offshore, the waves don’t move in one direction. Your equipment can get hit by waves that are 20 meters in height. Near the shore, there’s a phenomenon called wave run-up where they actually build near the shore, and they’re all heading in one direction. The sector should start where it’s simple, and move from there.”  

- Inna Braverman, explaining why shore waves are the simpler clean energy solution. 

🇺🇦 Born in Ukraine, Inna was given a second chance at life after the Chornobyl explosion nearly cost her everything. Her family moved to Israel when she was young, and she was raised in a small town called Akko. She studied political science and English literature at Haifa University and soon began working as an interpreter at an energy firm.  

She began to research the viability of wave energy as a clean energy solution and met her co-founder David Leb. They launched Eco Wave Power in 2011. 

Eco Wave Power installed its first grid-connected wave energy array in Gibraltar, then secured a project’s pipeline of 254 megawatts. It’s now growing and going strong.
