Welcome to the Hult Prize 2026 National Competition page!

Across 35+ countries worldwide, the Hult Prize National Competitions are where the most promising, impact-driven startups rise to the next level. Winning teams from Local Competitions, alongside top startups from the Open Application, advance to compete on a national stage, representing the boldest ideas from their countries and territories.

And innovation knows no borders. In regions without a National Competition, standout startups are still in the race, advancing through a online selection process designed to surface the most scalable, world-changing solutions, no matter where they begin.

This is where local ideas gain national momentum, and global impact begins.
