According to Maasa, the winner of the intra-campus event will automatically advance to compete in one of five regional finals to be held in the cities of Boston, San Francisco, London, Dubai and Shanghai in March 2017.

“The winning team from each host city will then be moved into a summer business incubator, where participants will receive mentorship, advisory and strategic planning as they create prototypes and set-up to launch their new social business.

A final round of competition will be hosted in September, where the winning team will bag a whopping $1m cash prize handed over to them by Mr. Bill Clinton.” says the law student awaiting graduation in January 2017.

“The Hult Prize is a wonderful example of the creative cooperation needed to build a world with shared opportunity, shared responsibility, and shared prosperity, and each year I look forward to seeing the many outstanding ideas the competition produces,” Clinton is quoted to have remarked about the Hult Prize.
