Stellenbosch University Hult Prize Finals

About

The Hult Prize is a globally recognised competition that challenges university students to develop innovative, sustainable businesses that address pressing social challenges. Often referred to as the "Nobel Prize for students," it provides participants with mentorship, resources, and a platform to refine their ideas. The competition progresses through campus, regional, and global rounds, culminating in a final pitch where the winning team secures $1 million in seed funding. By fostering entrepreneurship and social impact, the Hult Prize empowers the next generation of leaders to create businesses that drive meaningful change. 


Stellenbosch University will be hosting its first ever finals! Join us on hearing our finalists present their for-good, for-profit ideas.
