“Besides being a great opportunity to pitch for a sum €10.000, the award opens so many doors for you. You are welcomed in a large network of experienced entrepreneurs that happily share their knowledge. Due to the GSEA we were able to get the right coaching at the right time and therefore get our product to the market much faster”

"What I loved about the global finals, was meeting entrepreneurs from all around the globe. It was so inspiring to see how far some of these people have already come, despite our age. We got ample opportunity to talk to many other entrepreneurs - I am still in contact with some of them today."

About the event
About GSEA-NL

Global Student Entrepreneur Award (GSEA-NL) is an experience sharing event- and competition for studentpreneurs by entrepreneurs.

All nominees receive beneficial feedback from the GSEA-board and will get access to the experiences, network and genuine interest in young entrepreneurship by the founders.

In addition to that, a value-pack with items like trainings and access to knowledge and experience from our network is available to all nominees. Winners are also rewarded with an amount of up to €10.000, to accelerate their business. Both the value-pack and the cash price are donated by entrepreneurs and their companies, simply because they want to endorse and encourage young entrepreneurs in expediting their business.

Registrations for GSEA are open, deadline extended until 01 Dec 2021! The event (and Dutch Final) will take place on Thursday 13-01-2022.
