The memorandum of understanding (MoU) was signed in Aichi-Nagoya, host of the 20th Asian Games.\n\nMajor sporting events across Asia bring together athletes, organizers, audiences and diverse cultures at extraordinary scale, placing immense demands on the technology and services behind every competition. While AI is creating new ways to meet those demands, and raises expectations for how sport is delivered, shared and experienced, the MoU marks the start of a long-term collaboration between Lenovo and the OCA with a shared vision to deliver ‘Smarter Technology for All’ across the region. Together, they will explore opportunities for AI to help manage complex operations more efficiently, support faster and more informed decision-making, and create more connected and meaningful experiences for billions of fans.\n\nFor more than two decades, Lenovo has demonstrated its technological expertise and proven delivery at scale during the sporting moments when performance has mattered most. Lenovo first became a Worldwide Olympic Partner from 2004-2008, supporting both the Torino 2006 Games and Beijing 2008 Games as official computing equipment provider. Continuing to support major international sporting events, including the Hangzhou Asian Games and the Harbin Asian Winter Games, Lenovo technology has helped connect venues, support complex operations, provide timely information and equip media teams to bring the competition to audiences around the world. That record provides a credible foundation for the next era of technology-enabled sport in Asia.\n\n“Sport can create moments that stay with people for a lifetime, but delivering those moments demands extraordinary coordination behind the scenes,” said Ken Wong, Executive Vice President and President of Lenovo’s Solutions and Services Group. “Lenovo has supported some of the world’s largest events, where technology must perform reliably under intense pressure. We are proud to begin this long-term partnership with the OCA and work as one team to help shape the future of sport across Asia.”\n\n“We are delighted to welcome Lenovo to the OCA family as our Official Solutions and Services Partner,” said Husain Al-Musallam, Director General of the OCA. “OCA and Lenovo share a vision for how technology innovation can help evolve the world of sport and create new opportunities that benefit everyone from athletes and organizers to diverse fan communities. This partnership creates an opportunity to reimagine what is possible and help make great sporting moments even more meaningful.”\n\nThe partnership builds on Lenovo’s experience supporting major sporting events, where technology must be intelligent, dependable and ready for real-world demands. The lessons learned in these environments strengthen Lenovo’s ability to help organizations across industries manage complexity, act on information faster and deliver better experiences at scale.\n\n**About Lenovo** \n\nLenovo is a US$83 billion revenue global technology powerhouse, ranked #153 in the Fortune Global 500, and serving millions of customers every day in 180 markets.
