Luca Rizzotti, Founder and President, We Are Foiling - Foiling Week / Foiling Youth World Series said, "We started collaborating with GAC Pindar in 2015, immediately sharing vision and intentions. This is a partnership that is not only limited to solving operational issues but extends to a common value framework. Like Andrew (Pindar), I am on The Magenta Project board and our initiatives have resulted in a threefold increase in female attendance at the event.
For the Foiling Youth World Series, the logistical issue is of strategic relevance and we need a Partner of excellence like GAC Pindar. In order to accommodate the requests, we have received from all over the world, the timeline optimization for the transportation of the materials and for the setting up of the venues will be of paramount importance."
