### Investment thesis
 
Tidal Energy is clean, under-reaearched and under-exploited at present. It is more stable and less cost-intensive than other renewable energy sources as well as less invasive and impactful on the environment.
QED Naval's Unique Selling Point lies in the development of a highly scalable (associated within a park thereof) and easy-to-maintain turbine module (Subhub).
