Innovative products, services and behavior changes are key ingredients for solving the world’s most pressing issues.

Our guest, Lori van Dam, is the CEO of Hult Prize, an organization that inspires student entrepreneurs to solve the world’s biggest challenges through innovative social enterprises with positive global impact.

Hult Prize was launched in 2009 by a group of Hult International Business School students with the support of the Hult family, founders and owners of EF Education First, and benefactors of the Hult International Business School.

Through its year-long competition, over 100,000 young people in 120 countries work to create high-impact startups that address the annual challenge in alignment with the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

Finalists pitch their businesses to a panel of expert judges, and the winning team receives 1 million USD in funding to make their idea a reality.

Prior to joining Hult Prize, Lori spent six years as an executive leader for Susan G. Komen, as executive director of The One Fund Boston, which was created by the Mayor of Boston and Governor of Massachusetts to provide support for the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing victims, and for 20 years she worked for EF Education First, a global education company.
