LEAD launch event for programme to develop young women into entrepreneurs and leaders.

All students are encouraged to come up with a business idea which will benefit the planet or humanity, addressing problems connected to sustainability, female empowerment or inequality. Previous GDST LEAD teams have come up with excellent business ideas such as an anti-spiking device, a sign language book and friendship programme, and a cookbook of recipes from local restaurants.
