Join a worldwide gathering of Hult MBAs for a four-day summit in Dubai on the topic of innovation.

The capstone to your core program delves deep into the techniques and technology being used to innovate business for the future and pushes you to apply everything you have learned so far to your Future Challenge. You’ll prepare for the Future Challenge by first learning about the disruptive technologies themselves, for example blockchain, gene editing, or artificial intelligence. You'll then harness the technology to create a compelling new business opportunity, either for your own startup or for an existing company.

Choose electives from a broad range of topics within the fields of marketing, finance, strategy, entrepreneurship, analytics, disruptive technology, innovation, and behavior. Take electives at any of our global campuses in Boston, San Francisco, London, Dubai, Shanghai, and New York. You'll be expected to study in at least one other country, but how long you stay is completely up to you.

An internship is a solid way to transition into a new geography or industry. You can choose to take an approved internship in place of an elective. You'll have the support of your Career Development team to help network and prepare for your internship.
