Olympics - let the games begin!
As a Worldwide Olympic Partner, GE is the exclusive provider of many innovative products and services and works closely with host countries and organizing committees to provide infrastructure solutions for Olympic venues, including power, lighting, water treatment, transportation, security and modular space solutions, and to supply hospitals with ultrasound and MRI equipment to help doctors treat athletes.
For example, at the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, GE provided clean drinking water and rainwater recycling systems at the National Stadium; solar-powered lighting at Fengtai Softball Field; water processing technology to recycled water for Olympic Green landscaping; and high-efficiency energy units at the Jing Hui Garden media hotel.

Solving Environmental Challenges
GE’s ecomagination initiative is about making technologies that are both better for the environment and financially sensible – solving environmental challenges in a truly sustainable way.
Much of GE’s technology was used to support the Beijing Olympics – from security scanners to healthcare ultrasound through to water reprocessing and energy generation.
