A MESSAGE OF THE FOUNDER, LUCA RIZZOTTI
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.
Since January 2024, The Foiling Organization has 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.
The first ever World Foiling Congress, hold in Genoa in April 2024, proposed an intense program of conferences and debates, welcoming all sectors engaged in foiling to deliberate on regulations, certifications, statistics, promotions, and more.
World Foiling Congress 2025 will be dedicated to commercial foiling, with a particular focus on passenger transport, search and rescue at sea, patrolling and pilotage in port. Two days of discussion during which we will learn, share and deepen the projects already implemented and those in the pipeline worldwide.
We are looking forward to the presence of some of the leading experts in the field in the public and private sectors. I am sure that their testimonies and expertise will enrich the professional background of us all.
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.
With warm regards.
Luca Rizzotti
Founder and President
The Foiling Organization
