In 2010, British Columbia will proudly host the Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games. The Provincial Government has committed $600 million to this landmark event which is expected to generate up to $10 billion in new economic activity, and permanently enhance the province’s profile as an international business location and tourism destination.
By establishing a local presence early on, companies will be in an excellent position to take advantage of Games-related business and investment opportunities, maximize media exposure, and develop business partnerships.
There is excellent potential to leverage
British Columbia’s existing strengths in opportunity
sectors through alliances
with local firms and institutions,
as well as establishing “greenfield” operations.
