HULT PRIZE comes to IMSU, Owerri

Dubbed by many especially the media as the “Nobel Prize for Students”, Hult Prize
– the world’s largest students’ competition for the creation of new ideas for social
businesses which based in Boston | San Francisco | London | Dubai | Shanghai,
comes to our campus: Imo State University, Owerri.

This brilliant bold feat was made possible after one of our own, a 300 level student
of Computer Science – Uchegbulam Abel Onyekachi was selected a Campus 
Director by the Foundation in London, thereby putting Imo on the global students’ 
map.

It came barely a month after he also made it to Finals at the World Youth Essay
Competition in Berlin, Germany.

Beaming with smiles, he believes that his fellow Imo stars has all it takes and
urges them to come all out to participate to win this year’s Hult Prize, as full time
awareness campaigns are in top gear in and around the University community to
hosting this annual event for the first time, which awards USD 1Million in start-up
seed funding.

This event, in partnership with the United Nations is looking for the top team(s)
be it BSc, MSc or PhD from this intra-campus event that develops the most radical
and breakthrough idea to solve one of our world’s toughest social challenges, and
that will automatically advance to compete in one of 15 regional Finals happening
around the world next March.

The winning team from each host city will then move onto a Summer Business
Accelerator, 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 2019 at the United
Nations Headquarters, New York, where the winning team will be awarded the $1,000,000 Prize.
