Bach told GE customers and partners at GE’s Global Research
Center in Rio:
“Rio 2016 has been an iconic Olympic Games in
many aspects. Our Olympic Partners play a significant role in the
execution of the Games, and GE has been instrumental in providing
critical infrastructure technology to make the Games
successful.
GE’s technology is everywhere on the Olympic
sites. It is also very much present in the legacy that the Games
will leave for the residents of the host city.
GE partnership with the Brazilian Canoe &
Kayak Federation has also proven to be a very positive one as the
team has brought the first two medals of that sport to Brazil.
For all these reasons, I see GE as a close
member of the Olympic Family and I thank you for your continuous
commitment and passion for the Olympic Movement.”
The luncheon attended by GE customers and partners from around
the globe was a celebration of 10 years of GE sponsorship of the
Olympic Games.
