MICROSOFT

"Microsoft is very pleased to be involved in this global initiative, which is very rewarding for us. We have been sponsors in Portugal for almost 8 years and have extended our collaboration to 5 other countries. Young people have an opportunity to learn more about the management challenges they will face in the future and how to run a company. Being an international competition, the participants and sponsors also have a unique opportunity to learn about different cultures and establish very interesting and fruitful connections."

- Rodrigo Costa, Corporate Vice President, Microsoft Corporation


PARIS 1 UNIVERSITY, PANTHÉON-SORBONNE

"Our partnership with the GMC reflects the Sorbonne’s wish to open itself out more widely into the world of business. This competition is a stimulating occasion for our students to put their learning into practice. In conditions close to those of the economic world, they submit their decisions to the sanction of the market – even if it is simulated – and compete against students from different academic backgrounds."

- Pierre-Yves Hénin, President of Paris 1 University, Panthéon-Sorbonne

ASTRAZENECA

"Life inspiring ideas. Based on our company value to support new ideas and on our emphasis for continuous growth, we participated last year in the 1st edition of Global Management Challenge in Greece, by sponsoring student teams both from business studies and physical sciences. This year, after last year's really positive experience we undetrook the sponsorship of the competition parallel to the participation of employees teams. Through this "game", executives have the chance to gain experiences in functions that are not part of their everyday business work. Students on the other hand practice what they may already know theoretically and face a business reality that they may not had chance to know. We, as a company, are happy to offer this knowledge and experience to our people, opening new horizons, as well as to get closer to students that may become our business associates in the future." 
 
- Alina Papageorgiou, Human Resources Director, Astra Zeneca Greece


ALTRAN
 
“As a Global Partner in Innovation, the Altran Group is very proud to have been among the first sponsors of the "Global Challenge" competition in Belgium. We were attracted essentially by its pioneering aspect which reminded us of the values we pursue in our business.
For the last 3 years, Altran has coached several student teams for the competition and it was a perfect opportunity to get to know one another. The challenge is also an excellent way of letting the academic and business worlds work together.”
 
- Philippe Vranckx, Human Resources Director Benelux Scandinavia, Altran
