During GESS, students from all over the world work together for nine days in interdisciplinary teams to develop business ideas for societal change – ideas that have both a sustainable impact for society and a self-sustaining, profitable business model. In 2015, 35 students from 31 countries were chosen out of 900 applicants to participate in the course which is supported by the SAP Foundation. GESS is an official project of the UN Decade for Sustainable Development to educate tomorrow's entrepreneurial leaders.
Established in 2008, GESS is a joint initiative of the four leading university-based Entrepreneurship Centers in Munich as well as the Social Entrepreneurship Academy. It is under the patronage of Ilse Aigner, Deputy Minister-President of Bavaria and Bavarian Minister for Economic Affairs, Media, Energy and Technology.
