London is inviting Turkish businessmen to take part in investment aimed at preparing the city for the 2012 Olympic Games, which are expected to bring the city $8 billion.
In an interview with the Anatolia news agency Brendan Dineen, the director of the 2012 Games for Think London -- the official foreign direct investment agency -- said he had recently visited Turkey to inform Turkish businessmen about the 2012 Olympics and other investment opportunities in London. Many attached great interest to tenders opened for the occasion, Dineen said.
Companies can apply for tenders in the areas of construction, marketing and information technology through the Internet, he said. "Turkish companies can also participate in tenders. I think the Turkish construction sector is very lucky with these tenders because it is very competitive," Dineen stated. Turkish entrepreneurs would be greatly assisted if they applied the 2012 Olympic Games tenders, he added.
In the summer of 2012 Britain will come alive with the Olympics and the Paralympics. "Our four-year Cultural Olympiad will reach a crescendo with the Olympic Games opening ceremony on July 27. It starts a 60-day festival of sport and culture across Britain -- the Olympics and the Paralympics," Dineen noted.
