HULT PRIZE at University of Chittagong

The Hult Prize is a brainchild of Ahmad Ashkar who came up with the ingenious idea while pursuing an MBA at Hult International Business School and later transformed his idea into reality in collaboration with BertilHult. Established in 2010, the Hult Prize is on the brink of its 10^th grand anniversary.

In this grandiose occasion, University of Chittagong (CU) is hosting the renowned competition for the first time with huge response and support from the entire campus and community. The online round is going on in full swing. The other on-campus segment is the Final Round where the top 10 ideas will be presented and participants will have to compete through presentations and Q&A sessions.  Final Round will be on 16^th November . The Champion team from the campus will directly fly to Kuala Lumpur, Singapore, Dubai, London or any of the 25 hosting cities to participate in the Regional Finals.
