Student-led initiatives for the SDGs “Hult Prize Campus Final @YNU”(December 12th)

Overview and this year’s theme

Hult Prize On Campus gives students an opportunity to host local Hult Prize programs on campus and this is the second time that Yokohama National University is hosting the Hult Prize Oncampus final. This year is going to be held online and teams will pitch innovative ideas on this year’s theme of “Food for Good”. The winning team will participate in the regional final then potentially present their idea at the UN headquarter. Bypass the traditional application process and fast track their idea through one of +25 Regional Final rounds of competition. The program allows more students to compete around the world, leading to more ideas and ultimately more start-ups, each poised for transformational impact.
