Improving Management and Leadership Talent Through Education and Training
Economies and societies grow on the success of organizations that create meaningful jobs, increase wealth and well-being, and generate innovations to improve society. These organizations are created by resourceful entrepreneurs and run by competent, responsible leaders and managers. Our role at GBSN—the reason why we exist—is to ensure that the developing world has the management talent (leaders, managers, and entrepreneurs) it needs to generate prosperity.

With a focus on promoting responsible capitalism, the competition will identify high potential young people for mentorship and investment. Registration is open until March 26th.
Economic and social development in the developing world is limited by the lack of management and entrepreneurial skills.Â
