    @HeyAk, this link is broken because the applications are closed now. Visit this website http://www.ges2016.org ,  it says "Entrepreneur applications have now closed. Investor applications for GES will open on February 22."

    @SharifMamoon Once date is passed, you can't apply as the rules are put in place by the regulating body. As far as //Build is concerned, you don't have the entire trip sponsored, however off-course if an organization/software house sponsors your trip, nothing better than that. :) @Amir Iftikhar Thanks for stepping in :)
