Hult Future Leaders Business Challenge

Hult International Business School runs this free, 11-week team competition for high school students worldwide, and the 2026 brief is set by LEGO. Teams of four to six students from the same school, led by a teacher or counselor, build a proposal in response to a real business problem and pitch it through regional rounds to a live global final. The winning team is awarded a scholarship to study at Hult.
