Key Risks

Reliance on wave energy conversion may be affected by environmental factors and weather conditions.

Competition from other renewable energy sources and traditional power solutions could impact market share.

Scaling production and deployment of AOPS to megawatt-scale may present technical and logistical challenges.

Regulatory hurdles and permitting processes for offshore energy projects could delay deployment timelines.

Dependence on key partnerships and integrations may create vulnerabilities if those relationships weaken.

Opportunities

Expanding the application of AOPS to electric grids and large-scale power needs, tapping into a larger market.

Developing partnerships with ROV/AUV manufacturers and operators to integrate AOPS into their systems.

Leveraging the growing demand for carbon capture and storage projects by providing power for these operations.

Securing additional funding and investment to accelerate the development and commercialization of megawatt-scale solutions.

Expanding into new markets such as aquaculture and island communities with limited access to reliable power.
