                                                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
                                                for impact.
                          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

                     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
                     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.
