(ATR) Sochi 2014 signed multiple sponsors Friday at the International Investment Forum in Sochi.
CROS, one of Russia’s largest public relations firms, was signed as a supplier for PR needs. The company will deliver "communication support to promotion campaigns," a Sochi 2014 statement said. The deal lasts until 2016.
"Our task as the organizers of the Games is to involve as many people in our country as possible in the Sochi 2014 project," Sochi 2014 President & CEO Dmitry Chernyshenko said. "To do this, people need to be told about how preparations for the Games are progressing, how we are implementing social projects, and what legacy the Games is already leaving and will continue to leave behind. To solve this issue, we will be assisted by this valued supplier – CROS, a proven professional in the PR services market, that, I have no doubt, is more than capable of helping to solve all Sochi 2014 tasks."
US-based hospitality provider Jet Set Sports will provide hospitality packages to Russian clients for the Sochi 2014 Olympics.
"Thanks to Jet Set Sports, guests of the Games will experience the world-famous Russian hospitality and leave with the fondest memories of Sochi," Chernyshenko said. "The new Official Supplier for the Games is the leader in its field, as it has shown more than once at previous Olympic Games."
The Klinsk Institute for Occupational Safety and Health signed on as occupational health and safety suppliers for the Games.
As part of the deal, the institute will create the organizing committee’s workplace safety standards and insure their implementation.
"We are developing and putting forward effective standards, which will enable us to ensure the safety of everyone involved in Sochi 2014," said Andrey Moskviche, Klinsk Insitute director.
Chernyshenkoadded: "Our team is growing every day, with full-time staff, contractors and, eventually, around 25,000 volunteers. They will all be protected by world-class health and safety standards."
German company Ottobock was also announced as a Sochi 2014 Paralympic Games technical sponsor. The company will perform maintenance on ostheses, prostheses and wheelchairs used during the Paralympics.
Ottobock has provided technical service to the Paralympic Games since 1988.
"Support of the Paralympic Movement has long since become an integral part of our company culture," said Oliver Jakobi, General director of Ottobock Company group in Russia. "The Paralympic Games demonstrate in an inspiring way that people with limited mobility can not only live an active life but can also achieve impressive athletic successes."
No financial figures for the deals were released.
