(Lebanon, N.H. – July 19, 2025) – Global Rescue, the world’s leading provider of medical, security, evacuation, and travel risk management services, has been named a finalist for the prestigious 2025 Skift IDEA Awards in the Business Travel category.

The Skift IDEA Awards, now in their seventh year, spotlight the individuals, teams and companies shaping the future of the travel industry. With over 420 submissions globally, and 247 advancing to the final round, Global Rescue’s inclusion reflects the company’s ongoing commitment to innovation and excellence in travel safety.

“We’re thrilled to be recognized by Skift as a finalist for the 2025 IDEA Awards,” said Dan Richards, CEO of The Global Rescue Companies. “This acknowledgment of our continued efforts to transform travel risk management reinforces the value we provide to travelers worldwide, especially during times of crisis when fast, reliable response is critical.”

Global Rescue’s nomination highlights the company’s innovative approach through its Global Rescue Intelligence Delivery system (GRID). The GRID system, which provides real-time travel risk alerts and critical communication capabilities, has supported travelers facing over 10,000 global events, from natural disasters to civil unrest. This system is designed to deliver targeted notifications and alerts directly to travelers and organizations, offering immediate access to medical and security teams in case of emergencies.

“We built GRID to keep travelers safe in an unpredictable world,” said Harding Bush, associate director of Global Rescue Security Operations. “By providing real-time alerts, GPS tracking and direct communication with our Global Operations Centers, we ensure that our members have access to immediate support when it matters most.”

The GRID system combines a mobile app and desktop control center, giving users and administrators comprehensive situational awareness, crisis management capabilities, and the tools to protect, track, and communicate with remote employees, students, and travelers.

As travel increases globally, so do the challenges posed by disruptions, ranging from extreme weather and transportation delays to the risks of international conflicts. The Skift IDEA Awards highlight innovators like Global Rescue who are addressing these challenges head-on.

The winners of the 2025 Skift IDEA Awards will be announced later this year.
