Düsseldorf, 19.04.2023, Boeing, the world’s largest aerospace company and a leading manufacturer of commercial aircraft as well as systems in the defence, aerospace and security sector, will be the Presenting Partner for the INVICTUS GAMES DÜSSELDORF 2023. The partnership with the Invictus Games Foundation, which has been in place since 2018, underlines Boeing’s global commitment to the rehabilitation of physically and mentally wounded, injured and sick service personnel and veterans.

‘We are honoured to be the Presenting Partner for the Invictus Games in Düsseldorf,’ says Michael Haidinger, the President of Boeing Germany. ‘We know how important it is to support servicemen and women, and with this year’s Games, we want to make our contribution to their rehabilitation and inclusion in society. I have seldom seen a competition that is as exciting, emotional and inspiring as the Invictus Games. We are delighted to be part of these extremely important Games again this year.’

Long-standing commitment to veterans and military personnel

The US company Boeing has been engaging with active and former servicemen and women and their families for many decades. Boeing employs more than 20,000 former military personnel globally, and has established partnerships with veteran organizations from all over the world.

‘We are very grateful for the long-term support of Boeing for the Invictus Games movement. Today’s announcement builds on Boeing’s past sponsorship of the Invictus Games Sydney 2018 and the Invictus Games The Hague 2020, each time with greater and deeper support,’ said Invictus Games Foundation CEO Dominic Reid OBE. ‘Our work supporting international wounded, injured and sick service personnel and veterans through sport is only made possible by partners such as Boeing, which has committed to long-term support for veterans and their wider community, both at the Invictus Games and beyond.’
