All Eyes on the Hult Prize
At Hult, we believe that business has the power and the responsibility to change lives for the better. The Hult Prize is a worldwide student competition that challenges university teams to solve the most pressing global issues with viable business ideas.
How will you change the world?
The Hult Prize is the world’s largest student social entrepreneurship competition. Run in partnership with the United Nations, student teams from universities from across the world compete to solve a pressing social issue by developing a scalable, sustainable social enterprise. Finalists pitch to a panel of esteemed judges, global business leaders, thought leaders, and changemakers to win 1M USD and launch their enterprise. Past judges include former US President Bill Clinton, former Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard, and Nobel Peace Prize Winner Muhammad Yunus. Past challenges include food security, access to clean water, and affordable education.

Doing business to do good
Behind the Hult Prize is Hult International Business School. We see the Hult Prize as a vehicle for making our educational philosophy freely available to all students, wherever they’re studying. Our students learn that business and social impact go hand-in-hand and Hult's experiential learning approach centers around putting theory into practice. We support every Hult student who wants to take part in this life-changing experience and take advantage of the opportunity to give a global platform to their business ideas that will directly impact society.
Named by Time magazine as one of the “top five ideas that are changing the world for the better” and dubbed the “Nobel Prize for students,” the Hult Prize is a key milestone on the journey of any aspiring social entrepreneur. From one Hult student’s idea to a global movement—the Hult Prize seeks to solve the world’s biggest challenges through social entrepreneurship.
