The Hult Prize is the world’s largest student startup competition, challenging university teams to build for-profit ventures that advance at least one United Nations Sustainable Development Goal (SDG). Each year, student entrepreneurs from across the globe develop bold, scalable solutions to pressing social and environmental challenges—with the chance to compete for $1 million in seed funding to bring their ideas to life.

This year, Kaplan Institute will host a Hult Prize Regional Competition, bringing together five of the top student teams to pitch their ventures in front of judges, mentors, and fellow innovators.

To be considered as a team, apply here. Applications close on February 15.

The winning team from the Kaplan Institute regional competition will advance to the Hult Prize National Competition in California in April, moving one step closer to the global finals and the $1 million prize.

Whether you’re pitching, judging, or attending, the Hult Prize Regional Competition is a celebration of entrepreneurship, impact, and the next generation of world-changing startups.
