Danish wave energy firm Wavepiston has named Jan Otto Ooms as its newest board member following its annual general meeting on June 20, 2025.
Jan Otto, founder of Connect the Drops, recently invested in Wavepiston and brings experience in scaling businesses and the water sector.
Wavepiston secured a €900,000 investment from two professional investors through The Blue Line, a Dutch joint venture (JV) company. The Blue Line is backed by Connect the Drops, a Dutch investment fund focused on the water sector, and Unknown Group, a venture capital firm investing in the energy transition.
“We welcome Jan Otto on the board and his experience in scaling a business and the water sector,” said Wavepiston.
Wavepiston also presented its management and financial reports at the annual general meeting, confirming continued strong shareholder support. The company recently signed a collaboration agreement with a Spanish engineering consultancy supporting the marine energy sector, BlueNewables, to support its wave energy project off Gran Canaria, Spain.
