Samsung Electronics has renewed its sponsorship agreement with WorldSkills International to support the 43rd WorldSkills Competition in São Paulo, Brazil. Samsung will be the Overall Event Presenter, like two years before at WorldSkills Leipzig 2013. Samsung will support the competitions by providing some of the company’s products exclusively, while showcasing cutting-edge products and technology in a special promotion pavilion.
“Samsung’s commitment to skills development on a day-to-day basis is an inspiration to WorldSkills International,” said WorldSkills President Simon Bartley. “I have a high expectation that Samsung, as a long-time sponsor for skills competitions in both Korea and other major countries, once again provides a meaningful experience for its trained competitors.”
“It’s meaningful to dedicate for giving dreams and wishes to young skilled people of 74 WorldSkills Member countries/regions as a main sponsor of WorldSkills Competition in São Paulo.“ said Secretary General of Samsung Skills, Dr. Ji Oh Song.
