A new business "dating agency" will help companies across the UK compete for London 2012 business opportunities
The Business Network will help companies compete for Games-related opportunities directly with London 2012 or with suppliers in its supply chain. More than 75,000 future business opportunities, worth an estimated £6bn, are expected to be allocated.
Part of the Business Network is the new "CompeteFor" services, a business "dating agency" that will match companies to thousands of opportunities supplying London 2012 contractors. Companies will be encouraged to advertise their opportunities through "CompeteFor" with up to 20 percent of all London 2012 supply chain opportunities expected to go through the system.
The Business Network also has details of the latest London 2012 business events and information to help businesses get involved.
