(Lebanon, N.H. – August 14, 2025) – Global Rescue, the world’s leading provider of medical, security, evacuation, and travel risk management services, announced today that its Global Rescue Intelligence Delivery system (GRID) has won the prestigious 2025 Skift IDEA Award in the Industry Innovators – Business Travel category.

The Skift IDEA Awards honor bold, mission-driven achievements that shape the future of travel. Out of an unprecedented 420 entries and 247 finalists, GRID stood out to an independent panel of judges for its groundbreaking approach to protecting business travelers in an unpredictable world.

“We are honored that Skift has recognized GRID with this award,” said Dan Richards, CEO of The Global Rescue Companies. “This achievement reflects our commitment to delivering innovative, real-world solutions that keep travelers safe and informed during crises anywhere in the world.”

GRID is designed to minimize risk for business travelers through timely, targeted notifications about emerging or active crises.

In 2024 alone, GRID delivered more than half a million targeted alerts related to nearly 10,000 global events. Beyond alerts, GRID is the world’s only integrated mobile app combining medical and security risk intelligence, asset tracking, and crisis response. Its mobile app and desktop control center give users and administrators comprehensive situational awareness, GPS tracking, direct communication with Global Rescue’s Operations Centers, and tools for protecting, locating, and assisting employees, students, and travelers worldwide.

“We built GRID to keep travelers safe wherever they are,” said Harding Bush, associate director of Global Rescue Security Operations. “Winning this award affirms the value GRID brings to organizations and individuals who need immediate, reliable information and rapid response capabilities.”
