The Global Enterprise Challenge (GEC) is an annual business enterprise initiative run by Broadclyst Community Primary School (BCPS) in Devon, UK. Each year, hundreds of students aged between 9 and 15 participate, in teams across more than 20 different countries.

The GEC was developed by BCPS in 2014, when it won a ‘pitch’ competition run by Microsoft within its Showcase School community across the world. It incorporates a wide range of business skills while encompassing many different elements of the school curriculum, putting the children’s learning into a real-life context and using Microsoft Office 365 technology to allow worldwide collaboration and creativity.
