The Hult Prize is a train, where every single stop in the journey

”
The moment I went on stage to welcome everyone to the Hult
Prize 2018 Tunis Regional Summit was priceless. I was so proud
to welcome 250+ entrepreneurs from 40+ countries to my
hometown, where I grew and learned everything. That summit
that my university hosted and supported, literally, made from
Tunis a regional hub for entrepreneurship, youth, and impact.
It brought my community together to think differently about
how we can change the world. Today, I am a global manager
at Hult Prize thanks to a decision my university dean took to
participate in the bid! It’s time for you to bid on your youth, too!
