Novartis supports the Special Olympics World Winter Games 2029 in Switzerland
The pharmaceutical company Novartis has announced a new partnership with the Special Olympics. The company will become an official partner of the World Winter Games, which will take place in Switzerland in 2029.
With this collaboration, Novartis aims to send a strong signal for inclusion. A particular focus is being placed on so-called "neuroinclusion." The goal is to create a social environment in which people with intellectual disabilities and neurological differences can participate on an equal footing.
The Special Olympics is the world's largest sports movement for people with intellectual disabilities. Choosing Switzerland as the host country for the 2029 Winter Games provides a major platform to raise awareness for the needs and talents of these athletes.
Through Novartis's support, the organizers will receive important resources to prepare for the games professionally. The company emphasizes that inclusion must remain a central theme not only in sports, but also in the workplace and throughout society as a whole.
Preparations for the games in Switzerland are already underway. With the support of strong partners like Novartis, the organizers hope to create an unforgettable sporting event that highlights the values of community and diversity.
