Four students of the College of Europe Bruges campus have been selected to represent the College of Europe in the final selection phase of the Hult Prize Competition held in London from 3 to 5 March 2017.
Amongst 50,000 individual applicants, our team was selected to be part of the 66 teams that will compete in London.
The Hult Prize is an initiative of the Bill Clinton Foundation, to encourage the world's brightest business minds to compete in teams to solve the planet's biggest challenges with innovative ideas for sustainable start-up enterprises. This year, the topic that participants should be addressing is the so-called migration crisis. The team that will be selected will win 1 million dollars of financial support, as well as business training and advice.
The Hult Prize challenge gives us the opportunity to create a new model that our continent could—and should—adopt in order to solve the inefficiency of the current system. Together, we can elaborate a system that restores the dignity of displaced individuals, provide them with basic needs and integrate them into our societies through efficient solutions.
Stay tuned to find out more about it!
