Hult Prize at East Delta University

Hult Prize at East Delta University 25/26 | Organizing Committee

Behind every stage moment, every pitch, and every breakthrough idea stood a team committed to excellence.

The Organizing Committee worked with precision, resilience, and purpose to deliver a platform where young innovators could challenge the status quo and build solutions aligned with the global Hult Prize mission of social entrepreneurship and impact.

Guided by our Faculty Advisor Eva Chowdhury Ma’am and Faculty Co-Advisor Sidratul Muntaha Ma’am, the team upheld the standards, integrity, and vision that define the Hult Prize movement worldwide.

With the valued support of our Title Sponsor, Reliance Shipping and Logistics, this journey became a space where ambition met opportunity.

To the entire committee, your leadership turned vision into reality.

What would you do if you had $1 million?

At the Hult Prize Grand Finale at East Delta University presented by Reliance Shipping and Logistics, that question became a challenge, not a fantasy. It was written across a canvas and brought to life by organizers and teams who believe business should do more than generate profit. It should generate impact.

Beneath that bold question echoes the vision of Dr. Muhammad Yunus, Nobel Laureate and pioneer of social business, who once described the Hult Prize as the Nobel Prize for students. His lifelong work reshaped the meaning of entrepreneurship by proving that businesses can be intentionally built to solve poverty, inequality, and systemic challenges.

That philosophy lives within the Hult Prize movement. It challenges young leaders to transform ideas into scalable social enterprises capable of changing millions of lives. Not someday, but starting now.

This canvas held more than colorful notes. It held conviction. It held responsibility. It held the belief that one million dollars is not just capital. It is a commitment to build solutions that matter.

When innovation is rooted in purpose and entrepreneurship is driven by empathy, change stops being an aspiration. It becomes action.

🇧🇩 একুশ মানে আত্মমর্যাদা। একুশ মানে উচ্চারণের অধিকার।

যে ভাষায় প্রথম স্বপ্ন দেখতে শিখেছি, যে ভাষায় প্রথম নিজের পরিচয় গড়েছি, সেই ভাষার মর্যাদা রক্ষায় যারা জীবন উৎসর্গ করেছেন, তাঁদের প্রতি আজ গভীর শ্রদ্ধা।

২১ ফেব্রুয়ারি আমাদের মনে করিয়ে দেয়, নিজের কণ্ঠস্বর কখনো নীরব রাখা যায় না। ভাষা শুধু যোগাযোগ নয়, এটি সংস্কৃতি, চেতনা, ইতিহাস এবং অস্তিত্বের প্রতীক।

হাল্ট প্রাইজ ইস্ট ডেল্টা ইউনিভার্সিটি বিশ্বাস করে, টেকসই পরিবর্তন শুরু হয় শিকড়কে ধারণ করার মধ্য দিয়ে। যখন আমরা আমাদের ভাষা ও পরিচয়কে সম্মান করি, তখনই আমরা আত্মবিশ্বাসের সাথে ভবিষ্যৎ নির্মাণ করতে পারি।

আন্তর্জাতিক মাতৃভাষা দিবসে সকল ভাষা শহীদের প্রতি জানাই বিনম্র শ্রদ্ধা ও কৃতজ্ঞতা।

🇧🇩 International Mother Language Day

We honor the brave souls who gave their lives to protect the dignity of our mother tongue.
February 21 reminds us that language is more than words. It is identity, heritage, and the courage to stand for what defines us.

At Hult Prize East Delta University, we believe meaningful innovation grows stronger when rooted in culture, voice, and values.
Today, we pay tribute to all language martyrs with respect and remembrance.

Hult Prize at East Delta University 2025/26
Grand Finale presented by Reliance Shipping and Logistics

What began as a single idea evolved into conviction. What began as a pitch transformed into purpose.

The Grand Finale was not just a competition. It was a powerful gathering of bold thinkers, courageous founders, and future leaders determined to build solutions that create real and lasting impact. The room was filled with ambition, resilience, and the kind of energy that reminds us why innovation matters.

Each team stood on that stage carrying months of research, sleepless nights, teamwork, and belief. They presented not only business models, but visions for a better and more sustainable world. Every voice reflected determination. Every idea carried the weight of possibility.

This milestone stands as a testament to what happens when young leaders are given a platform, guidance, and the confidence to challenge the status quo.

With the valued support of Reliance Shipping and Logistics, the Grand Finale became a celebration of innovation rooted in purpose and driven by social impact.

This event was made possible with the generous support of Scented Gentry, Polyjute, and EDU Foundry as our partners.

The journey does not end here. It is only the beginning.
