ABOUT GSEA

The Global Student Entrepreneur Awards (GSEA) is an international entrepreneurship competition established in 1998 and organised by the Entrepreneurs' Organization (EO), one of the world's leading entrepreneurial communities.

GSEA celebrates student founders who demonstrate exceptional entrepreneurial spirit, resilience and innovation.

Unlike many other business competitions, GSEA looks beyond financial performance. We focus on how student entrepreneurs overcome challenges, adapt to uncertainty and persevere through setbacks - all while balancing the demands of building a business and pursuing their studies.
