A Canada-based start-up team has won the MENA finals of The Hult Prize Foundation’s international student competition for social good, held on 14 March at Hult Dubai’s campus.
Beating more than 200 students that made up the 46 teams from universities across the region, Team Attallo from University of Toronto is now on course for the Hult Prize Global Finals in New York, with a prize fund of $1 million (AED3.67 million).
The competition, which was founded in 2009 by Ahmad Ashkar, a Palestinian entrepreneur, and has been held in partnership with the Clinton Global Initiative (CGI) and the Hult International Business School, represents the biggest student competition in the world.
In addition to the regional finals held in Dubai, other regional finals were held simultaneously in Boston, San Francisco, London, Dubai and Shanghai, with a sixth held online.
