Up to 40 teams from the Hult Prize regional finals and the Hult Prize national competitions are invited to attend an eight-week accelerator at Hult ’ s Ashridge campus over the summer , where experts and thought leaders help transform their ideas into viable business models .
7 . Pilot project
Most teams run a pilot project of their concept in a location around the world over the summer in parallel with the accelerator program . This gives them valuable feedback on their idea and how to refine the business model .

The best five to six teams from the accelerator are invited to pitch their idea at the Global Finals . The finalists pitch to a panel of world-renowned judges at the United Nations headquarters in New York . The winner gets a $ 1M USD seed investment to launch their business idea .
