Future Opportunities

Business Opportunities Timeline - 2009

The Business Opportunities Timeline was developed to provide businesses with sufficient time to prepare for the 2010 Winter Games and other related opportunities. The Timeline outlines anticipated business opportunities and will be updated regularly as more information is made available. The Timeline includes upcoming major events outside of the 2010 Winter Games which can also lead to potential business opportunities.

IMPORTANT: While this Timeline has been developed using commercially reasonable efforts, there can be no guarantee as to the availability of or the timing for these business opportunities. In particular, goods and services identified in the business opportunities may be supplied by sponsors, value-in-kind suppliers or through inventory of existing venues and facilities or may not be required or may be modified after further evaluation. All business opportunities are subject to change without notice.
