Dear Friends and future Partners,
I am Luca Rizzotti, the proud founder of The Foiling Organization. For more than a decade, I have dedicated my heart and soul to the realm of foiling. This journey has been more than just a pursuit of sporting excellence; it has been a passionate exploration of the transformative potential that foiling has across the maritime industry and beyond.
I am delighted to announce a new and exciting chapter in our journey. In January 2024, The Foiling Organization set headquarters in Genoa. The facility is not only an administrative center but a real bustling hub where members will be able to refine, assess, and certify their latest foiling prototypes. Our objective is to establish a worldwide foiling technology cluster, beckoning businesses and experts who share our fervor for this technology.
A crucial aspect of our mission will be to actively pursue financing from both institutional sources and private investors. By obtaining these indispensable resources we can augment our collective ability to propel advancement and realize pioneering concepts.
Foiling isn’t only about the excitement of competition, it is a symbol of innovation that leads to progress in marine transportation, ecological undertakings, and our delightful bond with the sea. Our combined endeavors have fostered a community where technology and tradition meet, and where the drive for commercial and industrial advancement is powered by the spirit of adventure.
With the establishment of our new headquarters and the effort to obtain funding for our industry, we are ready to make a considerable step forward. The inaugural occasion at our new location will be the seventh edition of the Foiling Awards on April 18th and the first ever World Foiling Congress, a three-day program of workshops, conferences and debates, welcoming all sectors engaged in foiling to deliberate on regulations, certifications, statistics, promotions, and more. It will be the opportunity to know each other, share knowledge and shape the future of foiling.
Joining means supporting an exciting and sustainable pathway where foiling is not only a sport but a way of life that permeates all maritime activities. Your voice, expertise, and enthusiasm will be the pillars for building this future.
I invite you to join us as pioneers and enthusiasts, exploring the waters of innovation. Let us foil together towards a horizon filled with potential and united by our passion.
With warm regards.
Luca Rizzotti
Founder and President
