Hult Prize SEA 2020 Impact Report

3. WELCOMENOTEOn behalf of Hult Prize Foundation, United Nations and our partners, thank you for your ongoing support of Hult Prize Southeast Asia.
The Hult Prize is an entrepreneurship challenge that aims to turn ideas into impact. In the past ten years, the Hult Prize has grown
into a benchmark competition that enables any college or university student in the world to tackle the most pressing issues facing
billions of people. We created the Hult Prize to launch a new era of entrepreneurs, those who would build for-good, for-profit start-ups
to meet the ever important demands of 21st century development.
As we look back on our second year in Vietnam to host Southeast Asia Regional, we’re happy to share that the participation rate of
both universities and individuals has doubled, with more than 30 campuses now included in our ecosystem. Youths from across
Vietnam ans Southeast Asia have been making their startup ideas come true with the intention of changing the world into a better
place. We believe that the power of a community originates from individuals who wish to make impact on society. And Hult Prize
SEA is the place where these individuals are connected and it will become 1 of the largest Community of Impact in the region.
We hope you’ll be as inspired as we are by the people and ideas you’ll come across as you learn more about our organization and
mission.

Thank you for joining us.
Warm regards,
Ho Quang Hung

stakeholders, partners, judges, regional council members, and the community as a whole.
First, I want to personally thank you all for being a part of this journey. It is your constant support that this was the first year in the history of the
Hult Prize Southeast Asia Regional that we were able to send a team from Vietnam to the Global Accelerator programme and demonstrate our
growth in spite of all the challenges that occurred. Second, I would like to reiterate that our mission to promote sustainable development,
responsible business leadership, and social entrepreneurship in accordance with the 17 Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations
continues to be the forefront of our efforts. We have committed to developing opportunities that will be the engine of growth for years to come
and will continue our trajectory to transform Vietnam into a more prosperous future.
Finally, I challenge all of you to connect and engage with our community members, support
our financial foundation, and acceleratethe impact that we have started within this
ecosystem. It is through your generous support that has made the Social Impact Foundation
the organisation it is today.Our future is reimagined by those who are wise enough to invest
their time, efforts, and dedication into the vision we seek to create. I invite you to continue on

consequences: unpredictable climate change. 2020 marks the 50th anniversary of Earth Day and the 75th anniversary of
