New Zealand students lead all of the global teams to design businesses that use appropriate technology to improve social wellbeing in the 2017 Global Enterprise Experience (www.geebiz.org). They have three weeks to unite their team members from radically diverse countries to develop creative proposals.

To date 8600 participants from 103 nations have worked together in teams that cross boundaries of rich and poor, big and small, with world views that are worlds apart to tackle major social issues. The contest creates global leaders with a social conscience and a richer appreciation of the challenges in other parts of the world.
