Hult Prize

The Hult Prize, referred to as the “Nobel Prize” for students, is an annual, year-long competition that crowd-sources ideas from university-level students after challenging them to solve a pressing social issue around topics such as food security, water access, energy, and education.

As a part of such a program, we are honored to be representatives of its on-campus phase, where many teams from our college will present their ideas based on this year’s challenge. The Hult Prize Challenge for 2023 is “Redesigning Fashion,” with the idea of creating an innovative social venture to make the fashion and clothing industry more sustainable. Among all the teams, the team with the best idea and aptitude will be the winner. The winning team will then represent our college at the international regional level.
