Please join us for our annual Global Student Entrepreneur Awards with Keynote Speaker, Debra Alfarone.
GSEA is a competition designed to recognize and support undergraduate students who enrolled in an undergraduate program at a recognized college or university, own a revenue-generating for-profit business that has been operational for a minimum of six consecutive months. It is a catalyst that inspires students and young entrepreneurs to start, grow and make their entrepreneurial ventures THRIVE. Student entrepreneurs compete through local, regional or virtual competitions to win their shot at going head to head against the best student entrepreneurs in the world at the Global Finals.
