Overview
About the Hult Future Leaders Challenge
The Hult Future Leaders Challenge is an 11-week, challenge-based learning experience where students work in teams of four to six. All teams participate in the first four weeks, developing their initial proposals. In Week 5, these proposals are assessed, and selected teams move forward to Weeks 6 and 7 for further development and preparation.
After the Live Regional Presentations, teams are evaluated again in Week 8. The top 10 teams are then chosen to advance to Weeks 9–11, leading up to the Live Global Finals.
