The Hult Prize is a start-up accelerator for social entrepreneurship which brings together the brightest college and university students from around the globe to solve the world’s most pressing issues. The annual initiative is the world’s largest crowdsourcing platform for social good and one of the planet’s leading forces for good. Participants compete by applying online or pitching at local events organized on campuses around the world. Hult Prize Brazil is an annual competition and conference that brings together the top minds from the eight Brazil universities to solve the most pressing social issues of our time. Well-performing start-ups can move onto the regional finals, held in five international cities around the world, including: Boston, San Francisco, London, Dubai, Shanghai and on-line. Winners from each of these rounds then advance to the Hult Prize Accelerator for the summer before attending the global finals, which are hosted by former President Bill Clinton. Collectively, more than ten thousand students, representing more than 150 countries around the world participate in the Hult Prize and spend over 2 million man-hours on solving the world's most pressing issues. Through crowdsourcing, training, mentorship and funding, the Hult Prize seeks to build and launch the next wave of social entrepreneurs.
