Vancouver 2010 Sponsors
The Vancouver Organizing Committee for the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games (VANOC) has stated that the 2010 Winter Games could not happen without sponsors. In addition to the direct revenue generated by sponsors, each sponsor’s products, technology and expertise are vital to the success of the Vancouver 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games.
As sponsors prepare for the 2010 Winter Games they will require a large variety of goods and services. Products and services being requested include:
- Office space
- Rental cars
- Accommodation
- Banners
- Tour Operators
Many bids move through informal processes where the 2010 Commerce Centre connects bidding organizations directly with relevant businesses registered in the 2010 Business Network. Organizations can connect themselves to Games-related opportunities by registering for 2010 Commerce Centre programs and services and browsing the business opportunities section of this website.
While you should always proceed with enthusiasm, you should be aware of some potential roadblocks in pursuing sponsor business. Olympic and Paralympic Games sponsors are encouraged to deal with other Games sponsors for products and services. Sponsors may already have existing contracts with certain suppliers; however, if you have an innovative product and approach, bring it forward and they may take notice.
Vancouver 2010 sponsors can be divided into four key categories. For more information on each sponsor category and the organizations included in each category please follow the appropriate link.
