The G-20 SME Finance Challenge, the first ever competition launched by the G-20, was a financial inclusion effort with the mission of helping entrepreneurs.

The winners received funding and GBF's executive director, Harold Rosen, accepted an invitation to the November 2010 G-20 Summit in South Korea.
