Mehreen Mansoor, a student at IBA and Campus Director IBA Hult, recently announced that Institute of Business Administration has been selected to host a local edition of the Hult Prize, the world’s largest student competition for the creation of new social businesses.
The annual Hult Prize awards one million dollars in start-up funding to the team of students that develops the most radical and breakthrough idea to solve one of our world’s toughest social challenges.
In partnership with the United Nations, the Hult Prize is hosting college and university events around the world in search of the next game-changing start-up.
Mehreen Mansoor, along with her host team and in collaboration with IBA CDC, IBA IRC, IBA Go Green Society and IBA Entrepreneurship Society, will be leading the Hult Prize at IBA initiative, and is confident that her peers on campus have as good as chance as anyone to go all the way and with this year’s Hult Prize.
It has come to IBA for the first time and we will make sure that it takes the world by storm.
The winner of the intra-campus event will automatically advance to compete in one of fifteen regional finals happening around the world next March.
One winning team from each host city will then move onto a summer business incubator, where participants will receive mentorship, advisory and strategic planning as they create prototypes and set-up to launch their new social business. A final round of competition will be hosted in September 2018, where the winning team shall be awarded the $1,000,000 prize.
Hult Prize at IBA is now recruiting participant teams who are interested in registering for the competition. To register, log on to the website hultprizeat.com/ibakarachi
