Join the Hult Prize
As a Hult student you will have access
to a wide array of Hult Prize activities:
1. Forming teams 5. Regional finals
We hold mixers and speed-pitches for students
who want to compete and are looking for a team. Hult campuses in San Francisco, Boston, Dubai,
London, and Shanghai welcome students from
universities across the world to compete in the
regional finals. Regionals are also held by many other
host universities in cities across the world. Many
Hult students either compete in, or help organize,
these regional events.
2. Exploring the challenge
Information and ideation sessions as well as
discussion groups are available to assist students
to deep-dive into the challenge content and aid
their challenge trajectory.
3. Developing ideas
Workshops are held to help students develop their
business ideas and polish their presentation skills.
Team coaching is available. We encourage teams to
seek mentors from within our faculty, many of whom
are involved in the Hult Prize directly, including those
who have been judges.
4. Internal competitions
Campuses hold internal competitions, with the
winning teams going on to represent Hult International
Business School in the regionals.
*Please note that support and activities vary from
campus to campus.

6. The Hult Prize Accelerator
Up to 40 teams from the Hult Prize regional finals
and the Hult Prize national competitions are invited to
attend an eight-week accelerator at Hult’s Ashridge
campus over the summer, where experts and thought
leaders help transform their ideas into viable
business models.
7. Pilot project
Most teams run a pilot project of their concept in
a location around the world over the summer in
parallel with the accelerator program. This gives them
valuable feedback on their idea and how to refine the
business model.
8. The Global Finals
The best five to six teams from the accelerator are
invited to pitch their idea at the Global Finals. The
finalists pitch to a panel of world-renowned judges
at the United Nations headquarters in New York. The
winner gets a $1M USD seed investment to launch
their business idea.
