Hult Prize
The Hult Prize is a start-up accelerator for social entrepreneurship. In partnership with the Clinton Global Initiative we have created the world's largest student movement for Social Good. Apply now for your chance to change the world.
Change Tomorrow
Three years ago, an enterprising Hult student had a compelling idea and acted on it. Today, the Hult Prize has become the world’s most acclaimed business school event. The Hult Prize is built on the concept of crowdsourcing; instead of relying on a small internal team to resolve a problem, ideas are gathered from around the world, providing diverse and dynamic solutions to complex issues.
Join the Hult Prize
Open to universities, colleges, and students on every continent, the annual Hult Prize has become the world's largest student movement for social good. Each year, a critical social challenge is selected, and student teams from around the world are charged with developing innovative social enterprises that aim to eliminate the social issue. Hult provides a USD1 million seed capital grant to its partners to ensure that the winning solutions can then be implemented. The Hult Prize is anything but an academic exercise. We actively encourage your participation as a student at Hult.

Start-up accelerator for social good
Responding to a challenge made by President Clinton and building on the success of previous Hult competitions (Hult Global Case Challenge) the Hult Prize has committed to launch a new wave of student social entrepreneurs. The Hult Prize has become THE program for budding social entrepreneurs, recently named one of the top five ideas changing the world by President Bill Clinton and TIME Magazine.
The Hult Prize is a start-up accelerator for social good. Dedicated to launching the next wave of social entrepreneurs through identifying, funding, mentoring, advising and launching new social businesses.
In partnership with President Clinton and the Clinton Global Initiative, the Hult Prize has created the world’s largest student movement for social impact and the world’s largest crowdsourcing platform, dedicated to solving the most pressing social challenges on the planet.
Funded by Swedish Billionaire, Bertil Hult and supported by the Hult International Business School, the Hult Prize is THE program for budding social entrepreneurs. Each year, more than ten thousand college and university students from around the world apply to pitch their ideas at one of six regional events that take place in Boston, San Francisco, London, Dubai, Shanghai and online.
Up for grabs is an opportunity to spend the summer in the Hult Accelerator - a world class center for innovation located in Boston.
Following the conclusion of their time working in the Hult Accelerator, each of the six winning teams then pitch their start-ups at the annual Clinton Global Initiative meeting, where President Clinton, along with CGI Meeting attendees select and award the winning team with a USD1 million prize.
