The Fédération des Industries Nautiques (FIN) defends and promotes the different sectors of the French leisure marine industries. FIN is the voice of 700 businesses representing more than 80% of the leisure marine sector turnover in France. The FIN is also a founding member of the European Boating Industry, the voice of the European leisure marine industry in Brussels.
The FIN owns the Nautic, Paris international boat show and the Cannes Yachting Festival. It also coordinates the French Pavilion at the METSTRADE Amsterdam in collaboration with Business France. In addition, the FIN is a sponsor of the Grand Pavois La Rochelle boat show.
Prioritizing environment issues, the FIN founded the APER (Association pour la plaisance éco-responsable) the organism that coordinates end-of-life boats’ dismantling and recycling in France. APER is the first organization of its type in the world (www.recyclermonbateau.fr).Falco, a France based marine IoT solutions provider, is an innovative company founded in 2019 with a U.S. subsidiary, Falco Americas Corp., established in 2021.
Falco’s mission is to empower marinas to become the hub of connected marine services : we believe the marina is more than just a place where we store and shelter vessels - it is the future of the boating experience.
Falco delivers an ecosystem of IoT and digital solutions that enable marinas to optimize operations, promote sustainability and deliver higher value with a lean, customer-focused organization.
Falco connected services include sensors deployed on docks and boats to monitor and optimize berth occupancy, to drive environmental performance, increase security and enable digital services for boaters.
Falco is deployed in 12 marinas, with over 2000 sensors making marinas “smart” for next-generation boater services.
