I am excited to be here for the Olympics. This is an important moment for China, and at Nokia, we are proud to share this joy and excitement. Olympics is all about bringing people together, communicating and sharing, which reflects Nokia's vision and mission.

I am not being able to watch the matches as I am participating in customer events following the opening ceremony. But I will catch some live Games streaming from CCTV with my Nokia phone.

Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo CEO, Nokia

If you have never seen Beijing, you can't really understand it. We are very pleased to be the sponsor of the Beijing Games - it's a great present from GE. I see Chinese people are having fun and I am really impressed that the Olympic Games has shown the best of China to the rest of the world. Almost 99 percent of Americans are interested in China, but they only read about it in newspapers. The Olympics is a golden chance for people from the rest of the world to learn about China.

Jeff Immelt Chairman and CEO, GE

Since the Olympic Games kicked off in Beijing, the world has been captivated. China is extending a warm welcome and hospitality to its visitors, a sentiment echoed by Hilton's team members across the country.

At Hilton Hotels Corp, we believe international travel is a powerful catalyst for mutual understanding and unity. This belief is at the core of our support for the Olympic Games and our partnership with the US Olympic team.
