Dear BICs,

Greetings from HEC.

We would like to take this moment and appreciate your mission to provide a challenging academic environment and inspire intellectual and artistic curiosity at your respective HEI. It is immense pleasure to inform that HEC has recently signed a Letter of Intent with Hult Prize Foundation, to accelerate our mission to strengthen innovation and entrepreneurship. Through Hult Prize, students at Pakistani universities can be a part of a global community of student entrepreneurs. This will be an opportunity for the students to join a movement and create an impact in the country.

About the Hult Prize: The Hult Prize empowers students around the world to solve our most pressing challenges through social entrepreneurship. Each year, Hult Prize hosts the world’s largest impact focused student pitch competition, challenging start-up teams from thousands of universities around the world to build innovative startups that will have real impact. Finalists will pitch their startups at our global finals, competing for $1.5M in funding to bring their big idea to life.

Hult Prize has been creating impact in Pakistan for over a decade now. As part of the larger Hult Prize global initiative, the Pakistan chapter encourages students from universities across the country to develop business ideas that tackle significant issues like poverty, inequality, education, healthcare, and environmental sustainability. Over the years, the Hult Prize in Pakistan has produced a thriving network of alumni, comprising around 1000+student entrepreneurs who have participated in the competition and created a positive impact not just in the country but globally. To know more about the Hult Prize and its mission, you can visit Hult Prize website here.
