Since 2009, the Hult Prize has inspired brilliant minds like yours to tackle one profound question: How will you change the world? We challenge student entrepreneurs to create for-profit social ventures that deliver measurable positive impacts on people and the planet, all while supporting the United Nations in achieving its Sustainable Development Goals by 2030.

2025 Challenge of the Year

This year, we will continue with the same Challenge of the Year as last year, when we celebrated our 15th anniversary and introduced an unprecedented initiative: making the Hult Prize challenge topic UNLIMITED!

That means that you can pitch any idea ****you have for a social enterprise, as long as it is world-changing and aligned with at least one of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). You get to decide what problem you want to solve, as well as the business idea to solve it!
