Urban gardening and composting are growing trends in big cities around the world. New York City, whose 600-plus community gardens represent the nation’s largest concentration, shows how it’s done: More and more residents are gathering their kitchen waste to help create organic soil-enriching compost. And GORE® Cover technology plays an essential part in the process.

When triathlete John Grieco resolved to complete four Ironman® races in a year, he couldn’t imagine the obstacles he would face. After setting this goal, he learned he had an abdominal aortic aneurysm, a life-threatening condition, as well as multiple aneurysms in his iliac arteries, which supply blood to the pelvis and legs. He was told that even with successful treatment, he may never race again. Then, he found new hope through Gore.

World champion cyclist and Olympic gold medalist Fabian Cancellara has a new title to add to his list: GORE BIKE WEAR® brand ambassador. As one of the most successful racing cyclists of all time he will not only serve as a face of the brand but also lend his experience to product development.

Continuing our tradition as a top workplace, Gore ranks #15 among Europe’s best multinational employers for 2017. The result is based on our performance on lists in France, Germany, Iberia, Italy and Scandinavia.

For patients with insulin-dependent diabetes, life can feel like a constant balancing act — carefully monitoring blood sugar levels and caloric intake throughout the day and administering the right insulin levels at the right times to prevent health complications. But is a functional cure on the horizon? A partnership between Gore and the biotech company ViaCyte could open new possibilities.
