News  |  March 30th, 2010

Munich 2018 has demonstrated the depth of business support for its bid to host the Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games by announcing the first Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) to sign as Friends of the Bid.

The first group of businesses - APA Group (advertising), Autobus Oberbayern (transport), Drees & Sommer (property), the Munich and Upper Bavaria Chamber of Trade and Industry and Sporthaus Schuster (sports retail) - will provide financial support for the Munich 2018 bid.

Each company is a locally based leader in its business category. They will take advantage of the marketing opportunities associated with the Friends of the Bid programme, developed by the Munich and Upper Bavaria Chamber of Trade and Industry to enable companies which are part of Germany's vital and influential 'Mittelstand' ( SME sector) to play a key role in the bid.
