Do you have an idea that could change the world? The Hult Prize is a global social entrepreneurship competition that challenges students to develop innovative startup ideas aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) tackling issues such as climate action, inequality, education, and health for a chance to win $1 million in seed funding.

 

This year, UConn will host its On-Campus Round in early February 2026, where teams will pitch their ideas to a panel of judges for a chance to advance to the next national and international stages.

 

How to Get Involved:

• Open to all UConn students (undergraduate and graduate, any major!)
• No prior startup experience is required
• Form a team of 2–4 students
