Comments about the GSC from MOD, Siemens and startups

October 24 2007 | 2 comment(s)

We received many comments since the inception of the Global Security Challenge. Wanted to share a few opinions from government officials, venture capitalists and entrepreneurs about the GSC:

Lord Drayson, the U.K. Minister for Defence Procurement commented: "Promoting excellence and innovation is a process that thrives on competition. The high standard of exciting entries in today's Global Security Challenge is proof that competition is often a vital catalyst in driving that process forward." For the Minister's full speech at last year's GSC, click here.

Dr. Uwe Albrecht, Managing Partner of the Corporate Fund at Siemens Venture Capital said: "The Global Security Challenge offers a chance for entrepreneurs to overcome hurdles and find partners and customers."

From the Start-Ups' Perspectives:
"Thanks for holding the contest. It is important to bring attention to solutions that can make all of us safer."

"Thank you for your feedback. Preparing our submission for the Global Security Challenge was a worthwhile exercise for us, even though we weren't successful"
