Global Security Challenge

The GSC holds regional selection events and a Security Summit in London to bring together innovators with government, industry and investors.

The GSC was founded by MBA students of London Business School in the spring of 2006; the first competition took place in the summer of 2006.

The GSC runs regional finals in Singapore at the National University of Singapore, in Washington DC at The University of Maryland and Brussels at the Brussels School of International Studies ahead of the GSC London Security Summit in autumn, hosted by London Business School.

GSC finalists and winners from the last three annual competitions have subsequently raised over $117 million in new venture funding and grants.

The members of the GSC Judging Committees are leaders from venture capital funds, government, universities and industry.
