Global Startup Awards

We aim to identify, support, and connect the top 1% of local startup ecosystems worldwide.

Our goal is to create a platform that not only connects, promotes, and showcases startups and entrepreneurs within their respective regions but also elevates them to the global stage through strategic communication, public relations, competitions, and events. At GSA, we believe that the future will be shaped by founders who excel in technology and innovation.

GSA originated from the Nordic Startup Awards (NSA), which was established as the first regional startup competition in 2012.
In 2015, the GSA umbrella brand was then launched to connect all regional competitions.

Today, GSA offers a global platform that delivers significant value to participants, including stakeholders, governmental institutions, corporations, and private companies.
