Koç University has become an Outreach Partner of the Global Social Venture Competition (GSVC).  The competition is organized by University of California Berkeley’s Haas School of Business and in partnership with leading business schools around the world, including Columbia Business School, Yale Business School and London Business School. The goal of the competition is to catalyze new sustainable ventures that address significant social issues, build awareness of the social entrepreneurship field and educate future leaders.

The Global Social Venture Competition is the world’s preeminent social business plan competition providing aspiring entrepreneurs with mentoring, exposure, and prize money to transform their business ideas into positive real-world impact. Founded by MBA students at UC Berkeley’s Haas School of Business, the GSVC has evolved into a global network supported by an international community of volunteer judges, mentors and student organizers and a partnership of premier business schools in the US, Europe and Asia. 

If you are selected as a semi-finalist by Koç University, the university will fund your trip to the semi-finalist round in London.  If you succeed in becoming a finalist, GSVC covers your trip to California for the final round.  For more information, please take a look at the other pieces of this website.
