This club is known as the Hult Prize and the 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. The Hult Prize is a global competition organized by the Hult School of Business, headquartered in Washington and London. It is considered the largest youth movement for social change in the world and is classified as one of the best youth initiatives aimed at empowering young people in the 21st century.

The competition targets undergraduates as well as Master's and PhD students from all over the world. Teams compete to establish new projects and institutions aimed at addressing one of the social challenges represented by the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals for the year 2030. The winning team receives a prize of $1 million in seed capital to launch their company and scale the project. The goal of this award is to launch a new social enterprise that can fundamentally change the world and generate the next generation of social entrepreneurs. The competition is open to students from all different fields. Teams made up of students from diverse academic backgrounds usually perform better than other teams. To create truly innovative projects, teams need to be able to cover different aspects of a problem, from a deep understanding of the area in which the problem falls, to the business model, to designing the technology the team will need.
