The Barcelona Foundation for Ocean Sailing - FNOB - Fundació Navegació Oceànica Barcelona

The Barcelona Foundation for Ocean Sailing (FNOB), was created with three strategic objectives in mind: sports, industry & technology and communication, and devised to undertake a series of projects geared towards promoting and boosting activities related to top-level ocean sailing.
To fulfil these objectives, the FNOB defined four key strategic areas: R&D, Education and Knowledge, Science & Technology and the Environment.
The creation of the FNOB in 2005 was the result of the work of a platform formed by the Barcelona City Council, the Fira de Barcelona (Barcelona Trade Fair), the Autoritat Portuària de Barcelona (Barcelona Port Authority) and the Barcelona Chamber of Commerce, with the EL FAR Consortium as its coordinator.
The FNOB is currently working on its four key strategic areas to obtain the commitment and contribution of university, institutional and corporate fabrics, and thus conduct high-value projects.
