EnWave Corporation Enters Agreement with Teagasc
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. Teagasc, as the national body, provides integrated research, advisory, and training services to Ireland’s agriculture and food industry and rural communities, and the agreement includes the purchase of a 10kW REV™ machine expected to be delivered before the summer of 2026, according to GlobeNewswire PE.
Details of the Agreements
The license agreement grants Teagasc R&D rights to utilize EnWave’s REV™ dehydration technology in collaboration with its current and future clients, industry partners, and research entities. Teagasc’s equipment purchase specifically involves a 10kW REV™ machine, which will be used to showcase the technology’s value at their state-of-the-art facility. This machine will support Teagasc’s operations by enabling rapid, energy-efficient drying of materials, as outlined in the announcement.
Teagasc’s Role and Projects
Teagasc serves as Ireland’s national authority for research, development, training, and advisory services in the agri-food sector, operating through various county advisory centres, colleges, and research centres. Recently, Teagasc received funding from the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine for the AIMBIO project, which it coordinates and which involves partnerships with academic, research, and industry stakeholders to transform side-streams from Ireland’s marine and aquatic sectors into high-value ingredients for food, feed, cosmetics, and chemicals. In this context, Teagasc plans to employ the new REV™ dryer to dry marine and aquaculture side-streams, generating consistent and scalable dried fractions for further extraction and product development.
