Genoa-based association of the foiling industry, The Foiling Organization, has joined EBI as newest sustaining member adding highly valuable expertise on the foiling sector.

The Foiling Organization was approved as new sustaining member of European Boating Industry (EBI). It is a newly established association encompassing foiling-related industries and professionals, such as boat yards, component manufacturers, designers and research facilities.

With foiling being one of the key trends in the boating industry, originally stemming from competitive sailing racing, it has the potential to be one of the elements that can support innovation and sustainability across the industry. It already featured as a topic of discussion at the recent EBI-organised Blue Innovation Dock at boot Düsseldorf.

On the new membership, EBI President Robert Marx commented "As President of EBI, I warmly welcome The Foiling Organization as our newest sustaining member. Together, we have the power to drive positive change, ensuring a thriving future for the European boating industry."

Luca Rizzotti, President of The Foiling Organization said: "We are thrilled to announce our membership as a sustaining member of the European Boating Industry Association (EBI). The Foiling Organization is experiencing rapid growth, and aligning ourselves with this continental group dedicated to the boating industry is a significant step forward. We believe that our collaboration with EBI will play a crucial role in propelling foiling into the mainstream."
