EnWave and Teagasc Forge Partnership in Agri-Food Technology
EnWave Corporation announced on March 10, 2026, that it has signed a license agreement and an equipment purchase agreement with Teagasc, the Agricultural and Food Development Authority of Ireland, granting Teagasc rights to use EnWave’s proprietary Radiant Energy Vacuum (REV™) dehydration technology for research and development purposes, according to GlobeNewswire PE.
Details of the Agreements
The license provides Teagasc with R&D rights to collaborate with its clients and partners using REV™ technology, while the equipment purchase involves a 10kW REV™ machine that Teagasc will use to demonstrate the technology at its facility. This machine is expected to be delivered to Teagasc before the summer of 2026, as stated in the announcement.
Teagasc’s Role and Applications
Teagasc serves as Ireland’s national body for integrated research, advisory, and training services in the agriculture and food sector, and it has been awarded funding for a project called AIMBIO, which focuses on transforming marine and aquatic side-streams into high-value ingredients for industries like food and cosmetics. Teagasc plans to employ the REV™ machine to enable rapid, energy-efficient drying of these materials, supporting the project’s bioprocessing solutions.
About the Companies Involved
EnWave, based in Delta, British Columbia, is a leader in vacuum microwave dehydration innovation, holding a robust intellectual property portfolio, according to GlobeNewswire PE. As a widely-known context, dehydration technologies are commonly applied in food processing to preserve materials efficiently, which aligns with Teagasc’s work in agri-food development.
