Dear Students
“The worse thing The Hult Prize is going on 11 years now, and there was never a better time
that can happen to to join this movement. This year, the program saw participants from more
anybody is to get up than 1,500 universities and 121 countries, and there were 300,000 students
every day and start working in teams to come up with projects that make a difference; those
are impressive numbers. This is the world’s largest student movement
the day believing that

every one of your
tomorrows will be just I love the Hult Prize because it deals with what I think is the most
like yesterday.” important, and generally overlooked, question that we have to face in our
complicated interdependent worlds - where so many good things and so
many troubling things are happening at once - which is ‘how’. Anybody

can talk about problems, and Governments, Foundations, and wealthy
people can give money towards solving them, but people still have to
figure out HOW to turn their good intentions into positive changes that
move other peoples’ lives and empower them. That’s what the Hult Prize
student teams seek to achieve every year and I’m grateful to all those who
have, and will, participate.
The 2020 Hult Prize Challenge is asking students to create bold businesses
for a better planet that generate positive impact on the environment with
every sale. The earth is our only home and we must protect, restore and
fund it. It is so very important to educate ourselves, and remember that
the change starts from within. For far too long, defenders of the status quo
have argued they simply cannot afford the economic burden of preserving
clean air, safe water, a vibrant wildlife and a decent future for our children
and grandchildren. Yet, all the evidence suggests otherwise, that what’s
good for the environment ultimately will be good for the economy too.
I therefore believe that this challenge, to develop an idea that provides
positive net impact on the environment with every sale completed, and
reaches no fewer than a million consumers within the next decade, is
particularly important in the current global context.
Wishing you all great success,
William J. Clinton,
42nd President of the United Stated of America and
Founding Chairman, Clinton Foundation

Dear Attendees
On behalf of all of us here at the Hult Prize Foundation, congratulations! “Anything is possible
Making it this far is a BIG deal and is an accomplishment that will last IF you believe that
a lifetime. Every year hundreds of thousands of young people from struggling together
colleges and universities across the world come together around the is better than
Hult Prize to think big, be bold and work hard towards solving some of
prospering alone.”
humanity’s biggest challenges. We join hands in the hope of creating a
better world for all, through the sharing of new ideas, building stronger
communities and making long lasting connections that will inspire us to
have a lifetime of impact. At the Hult Prize, we have spent more than
a decade inspiring and leading young people to think differently about
how business can transform lives and be used as a force for good. Our
4 programs and events are custom tailored to change the trajectory of
young people at their most critical inflection points, converting ordinary
degree seeking students into game-changing impact entrepreneurs.
Since being founded, the Hult Prize movement has mobilized millions
of young people, challenging each of them to rethink our future, and
providing the learning and knowledge needed to create the change
they want to see in the world.
We are humbled that our flagship challenge has grown to become a
benchmark program for startup-entrepreneurship and that our learning
initiatives continue to breed disruptive innovation on nearly 2,500 college
and university campuses across 121 plus countries. None of our work
would be possible without the commitment and tireless contributions
of our global staff, phenomenal campus directors and their teams along
with our 30,000+ student workforce - whom I thank tremendously.
Good luck at Regionals and remember that irrespective of the outcome,
you are invited to join me at one of our Impact Break events happening
beach side in Cancun and the Dead Sea later this year, where I will be
personally participating in the selection of additional wildcard teams
who will be invited to attend our Global Accelerator.
Remember to have fun, be bold and always be kind. If you get a chance,
please take some time to thank our amazing organizers, community
judges, mentors, experts, advisors, university officials, your parents
and everyone else who has given their time to nurture and support
a generation of young people that are poised to lead a generation to
change the world.
Thank you for joining us. I love you all.
