The University of Washington's Global Social Entrepreneurship Competition (GSEC) is a business plan competition in which students from around the world find creative, commercially sustainable ways to address problems of poverty in the developing world.  Business plans are evaluated on three criteria: 1) effect on the quality of life and poverty alleviation in the developing world; 2) financial sustainability; and 3) feasibility of implementation.

GSEC business plans can cover various issues such as healthcare, education, the environment, energy, information and communication technology, social services, agriculture, and manufacturing. Social Return on Investment includes the social good of improved health. As such, two new prizes in Global Health will also be awarded this year.
