Samsung Supports PH Olympians: Official Mobile Partner for Paris 2024

Samsung Electronics Philippines Corporation (SEPCO) is making significant strides in supporting Filipino athletes as they prepare for the Paris 2024 Olympics. In a move that underscores their commitment to empowering through technology, Samsung has partnered with the Philippine Olympic Committee (POC) as the official mobile partner for the Filipino Olympians.

This partnership is part of Samsung’s global campaign, “Open Always Wins,” which highlights the brand’s dedication to openness and the belief that it leads to new perspectives and infinite possibilities. This campaign aligns perfectly with the upcoming Olympic and Paralympic Games in Paris, where Samsung will also host the Galaxy Unpacked event, showcasing its latest technological innovations.

A Longstanding Olympic Partnership

Samsung has been a Worldwide Olympic Partner since 1988, and for nearly 40 years, athletes and fans have relied on Samsung’s transformative mobile technology to share the Olympic spirit globally. This enduring commitment extends through the Los Angeles 2028 Games, with Samsung continuously innovating in wireless communications, artificial intelligence, virtual reality, augmented reality, and 5G technology.

Empowering Filipino Athletes

As the athletes gear up for the Paris 2024 Olympics, each one has been equipped with the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip5. This state-of-the-art device will keep them connected with their fans and loved ones, allowing them to share their Olympic journey and experiences on a global stage.
