For the entire duration of the Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games, the company from Verona will be responsible for supplying the UPS, fundamental devices that guarantee continuity and maximum reliability of electrical power.
Riello UPS, a brand of the Riello Elettronica group and a leader in the production of Uninterruptible Power Supply systems (UPS), and the Organizing Committee of the Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games Milano Cortina 2026 have signed a new partnership agreement based on a shared vision that combines innovation and team spirit, fundamental for the first diffused Games, which will take place across an area of 22,000 km² and will host over 3,500 athletes and around 2 million fans.
An event as complex as this will require effective and reliable continuous power supply solutions, a sector in which Riello UPS stands out thanks to the excellence of cutting-edge technologies.
The agreement
The company will handle the supply of single-phase Uninterruptible Power Supply systems and will provide dedicated technical support.
The advanced Riello UPS systems, continuously monitored and assisted directly by the central technical service, will ensure operational continuity for all the equipment essential to competitions, training sessions, and daily life inside the villages.
Just over three months before the start of the Games, the Organizing Committee of Milano Cortina 2026 recognizes the importance of collaborating with entities capable of offering cutting-edge technological solutions.
The partnership will also take shape through a series of dedicated services, including a specialized team for system configuration and management, technical audits, an exclusive help desk for direct support, and an operational unit active 24/7 for real-time monitoring throughout the entire duration of the Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games.
In addition, the high efficiency of Riello UPS solutions and systems will help minimize energy dispersion, supporting the sustainability goals of Milano Cortina 2026.
Andrea Varnier, CEO of Fondazione Milano Cortina 2026: “Riello UPS is a guarantee”
“An event like Milano Cortina 2026 requires a solid operational structure, capable of withstanding the demands of such a vast and complex territory. Riello UPS represents a guarantee in this regard: an Italian technological excellence from Verona, with strong roots and globally recognized expertise. The response from the Veneto region, which today is also expressed through partnerships of this level, is an important signal. It demonstrates that when innovation and vision come together, the country’s system can take a leading role,” said Andrea Varnier, CEO of Fondazione Milano Cortina 2026.
