EnWave Signs Research and Development License Agreement with Moorepark Technology Limited and Receives Purchase Order for REV™ Machinery
SEPTEMBER 23, 2019,6:00 AM
EnWave Corporation (TSX-V:ENW | FSE:E4U) (“EnWave”, or the “Company”) announced today that it has signed a Research and Development License Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Moorepark Technology Limited (“MTL”). MTL has also committed to purchasing a 10kW Radiant Energy Vacuum (“REV™”) dehydration machine to be used at its pilot plant in Cork, Ireland.
Under the Agreement, MTL will use the REV™ machinery for research and development purposes to market EnWave’s REV™ technology to key stakeholders in the Irish food manufacturing industry seeking to develop innovative, premium food products. The pilot plant facility will effectively serve as a proving ground for prospective future royalty partners of EnWave to evaluate the merits of REV™ technology. The installation of a pilot-scale REV™ machine at MTL’s pilot plant will increase the visibility of EnWave’s technology to potential new royalty partners, and will serve as a location for product trials, early stage commercial validation and technology demonstrations.
EnWave personnel will collaborate closely with MTL’s team to showcase REV™ technology to potential new royalty partners on a project-to-project basis.

Total investment in MTLto-date is over €12m made up of industry contributions, company own funds and State/EU grants.

About EnWave
EnWave Corporation, a Vancouver-based advanced technology company, has developed Radiant Energy Vacuum (“REV™”) – an innovative, proprietary method for the precise dehydration of organic materials. REV™ technology’s commercial viability has been demonstrated and is growing rapidly across several market verticals in the food, legal cannabis and pharmaceutical sectors. EnWave’s strategy is to sign royalty-bearing commercial licenses with industry leaders in multiple verticals for the use of REV™ technology. The company has signed over twenty royalty-bearing licenses to date, opening up eight distinct market sectors for commercialization of new and innovative products. In addition to these licenses, EnWave has formed a Limited Liability Partnership, NutraDried LLP, to develop, manufacture, market and sell all-natural cheese snack products in the United States under the Moon Cheese® brand.
EnWave has introduced REV™ as the new dehydration standard in the food and biological material sectors: faster and cheaper than freeze drying, with better end product quality than air drying or spray drying. EnWave currently has three commercial REV™ platforms:
1. nutraREV® which is used in the food industry to dry food products quickly and at low-cost, while maintaining high levels of nutrition, taste, texture and colour; and
2. quantaREV® which is used for continuous, high-volume low-temperature drying.
