    PLUS WING FOIL Compact - Light LIVE THE TIKI LIFE EXPERIMENT. The Alternative Windsport Over the last 14 years Starboard has brought home 13 PWA Constructors’ titles and helped set the trend in all things windsurfing, including the Olympic Games. We also have produced more windsurfing boards than anyone else, therefore polluted our planet significantly. We wanted to turn negatives into positives and started our experiment by introducing Internal Climate and Plastic Taxes. We invested into the WIF Heyerdahl Blue Carbon Climate Park, planted ½ million mangrove trees making each board 10x Climate Positive. The iQFoil board is 100x Climate Positive, intending to set a trend in the Olympic movement towards Paris. iQFOIL - A NEW ERA Each year some 8.5 million tons of plastics make it into the Ocean and with a population of 7.8 Billion, that is some 1.1 kg per From Junior to Youth to the Olympics person. So for every board we sell, our P.O.P (Plastic Offset Program) picks up 1.1 kg of beach/ocean plastic around our test area in Chonburi, Thailand. We like to search for simple solutions to our planet’s major challenges and just like making better boards for windsurfing, we SIZE MATTERS MATTEO IACHINO JAEGER STONE also want to create a better brand for the planet.

  • Honorary Patronage Organisers
    Honorary Patronage Organisers Foreword of Commissioner Máire Geoghegan-Quinn Week of Innovative Regions in Europe WIRE III conference Proceedings (4–5 June, Krakow, Poland) The third “Week of Innovative Regions in Europe” (WIRE) took place this year on 4 – 5 June in Krakow (Poland), following WIRE I in Granada (Spain) in 2010 and WIRE II in Debrecen (Hungary) in 2011. By now, WIRE has become one of the most important events in the area of regional innovation as it brings together key regional development professionals, experts and policy makers. The WIRE III conference, supported by the EU’s 7th Framework Programme for research and technological development (FP7), and organised by the Polish National Contact Point for Research Programmes of the European Union, brought together nearly 500 stakeholders from European Member States and FP7 Associated countries. The conference took place at a key moment in the development of EU research and innovation policy as it addressed many issues that are important for the effective implementation of Innovation Union at regional level and for policies and actions in the next programming period 2014-2020. This conference was indeed among the fi rst to take place after the European Commission presented its proposals for the future programmes on research and innovation (Horizon 2020) and Cohesion Policy. The three main topics of WIRE III were Smart Specialisation strategies and processes, the concept of the “stairway to excellence” to build stronger synergies between Horizon 2020 and Cohesion Policy; and, networking in favour of a strong European Research Area at regional level. WIRE III has provided excellent opportunities for in- depth discussion, creative exchanges and mutual learning.
