Bringing fundamental global business concepts to life through real-world practice is the cornerstone of all our programs. We believe people learn better by doing, so we have developed academic curriculums that reflect our commitment to this belief. Our techniques include real-world consultation projects, live simulations with actors, understanding risk management with professional poker players, practicing group decision-making by competing against other teams of students in real-world scenarios, and developing teamwork and leadership skills through challenging outdoor activities, such as open-water sailing.

Turning ideas into action

Founded by a Hult alumnus, funded by the Hult family, and run in partnership with former U.S. President Bill Clinton, student teams from all over the world compete to win a USD1 million investment in their startups. The specific challenge varies from year to year, but they all focus on improving the lives of some of the world’s poorest people. In 2015, the student teams devised ingenious solutions to build sustainable and scalable social enterprises to address early childhood education in urban slums. Over 20,000 applications were received, six teams made it through to the global finals in New York, and we are proud to announce that five of those teams, including the winners, received external investment to help take their ideas to the next level.
