„What is your vision for innovation and sustainability in the boating industry?”
Francesca Goi (Independent Consultant)
The way towards sustainability is a real challenge for this industry: boats are complex products, in which different technologies and materials coexist. The high level of customization and craftsmanship, which are pride of this sector, make the process mapping challenging. Nevertheless, sustainability is finally at the heart of the development strategies for many brands. The shift towards a more sustainable boating can only go through innovation: a responsibility, but also a great opportunity for a sector that trough magnificent objects make customers’ dreams come true.
Tim-Eike Krebs (Chairman of the committee for Quality, Federal Canoe Assosiation – BVKanu)
When it comes to boating and sustainability, we don’t only need awareness and responsibility by decision-makers, but also a well developed infrastructure and modern management-systems in water tourism areas.
Francis Hueber (Co-Founder & CEO, Caponnetto Hueber SL)
Our goal is to use our creativity, innovation-driven thinking, and extensive fluid dynamics knowledge to improve the nautical and maritime industries, to make them more efficient from an energy point of view, and ultimately decarbonize them through effective design and optimization, foiling for small and medium crafts, and development of alternative 0-emission propulsion systems for large vessels.
