Podcasts about Hult Prize

On this episode of the Lead With Purpose podcast host, Tze Ching Yeung talks to Maria Remy about circularity and fashion. KEY TAKEAWAYS The problem in the UK is there's often quite a long time between swapping events where you don't know what to do with your clothes, you want to consume more because of the fast pace of fashion but you may not have the chance to do so. We created a digital platform to be the bridge between the events. CLOSWAP is a Tinder-based model, swiping right and left releases dopamine, you then match with people and you can choose to meet up with them or ship the items to them via same-day bike delivery.  People who are in fashion are often artistic people, they care about the purpose and the mission, which is great – that's what sells the product. But, if you make that a business that can sustain itself the impact will be larger over the long term.  Most people only care about themselves, which might sound pessimistic but it's reality, so you have to match the behaviours that are there: Over-consumption, dopamine-hit-requirement, short attention spans. Circularity is one of the only solutions to prolong the lifecycle of clothing. BEST MOMENTS ‘CLOSWAP is Tinder for clothes and Eventbrite for swapping events combined.' ‘Swapping is probably the least financially viable business to get into, we've never hosted an event that was profitable!' ‘Impact is the mission I want to pursue throughout my life.' ‘Apps like Vinted take too long, when I buy something I want it right now.' ABOUT THE GUEST Maria Remy is a former professional athlete turned marketing specialist, creative director and founder of CLOSWAP, winner of the Mayor's Entrepreneurship Award 2024 and a top 700 startup & social venture (according to Hult Prize) pioneering in circular fashion.  With a background in fashion styling and a passion for social impact, she leads with creativity, strategy, and a commitment to change. Maria is also the president of the Women in Business, driving diversity and innovation in the industry.  ABOUT THE HOST Tze Ching started her entrepreneurial journey back in 2007 with the launch of a sustainable clothing & home furnishing ecommerce business. Next, she created a sustainable fashion brand. In 2019, she launched a social enterprise to help raise awareness about the negative impact of fashion at schools & colleges.  Through the 15-year journey, she learned so much, but easily the most meaningful lesson learned was about the importance of marketing. She now focuses on channelling those insights to help others succeed through We Disrupt Agency, a business coaching, mentoring & digital marketing company.  Tze Ching's mission is to create a community of global change makers and to contribute to positive change in both people & planet.

For Hailey Yong, it was.At just 20, Hailey, CEO and Founder of The Unusual Greens, left her studies behind to pursue TUG Gelato full-time, an enterprise that transforms imperfect and surplus fruits into delicious gelato.

She then worked with a global social entrepreneurship accelerator Hult Prize.Throughout her years of experience, Diala got to work closely with 150+ startup, which gave her clear insight into what startup ecosystems need most, and what entrepreneurs passionately seek throughout their journeys.The first 6 years of her career culminated in Diala co-founding Launch DXB, a platform that caters to aspiring, early-stage, and fledging startups, in addition to established SMEs, independent professionals, and freelancers who want to venture forward with their business setups in Dubai, supporting them through online and offline activations.Diala is currently the TASMU Accelerator Program Specialist, an initiative of Smart Qatar (TASMU), operated and facilitated by Ooredoo Qatar, and held under the patronage of the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology of Qatar.#EmpoweredToGrowPodcast #EmpoweredToGrow #EmpoweredYouEmpowersOthers #TheBusinessDoctor #WomenEmpowerment #Podcast #HananElBasha #DialaDaoudYou can connect with Diala Daoud here https://www.daoudiala.comhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/daoudiala/https://www.instagram.com/daoudiala/

On the first episode of "Up Next", I interview Omar Ghanem the CEO and Co-founder of U-light a social enterprise that provides a human-powered energy solution to energy-deprived communities in Nigeria. Omar explains the story behind U-light and how a bunch of 20 something-year-olds came up with an idea during their senior year in university that was pitched in front of the UN general assembly and nearly won them a million dollars while competing in the Hult Prize. This idea has now become a viable product that is changing lives in Nigeria. I hope you enjoy this episode and make sure to check out their site u-light.co and help change a life for less than 10$.

・前回まで、30科目以上にも及ぶ九州大学のアントレプレナーシップ教育のカリキュラム体系と科目群について解説してきた。今回は、QRECの教育もう一つの柱である「S.I.P.（Student Initiative Program）」について解説したい。 ・通常の科目が単位取得を可能としているが、S.I.P.は、学生に実践の場を提供するプログラムである。具体的には、下記のプログラムを有している。 アイデアバトル：学生個人やチームが独創的なアイデアを考案して60秒のピッチを行い、上限１０万円の予算を使って、そのアイデアの妥当性を数カ月間かけて検証する（最初のアイデアではダメだとわかったらピボット＝方向転換することも奨励）。 C&C（チャレンジ＆クリエイション）：学生チームが提案内容をプレゼンし、５０万円の予算を使用して、１年間をかけてプロトタイプの作成や顧客実証などを進める。 QSHOP（九大祭起業体験プログラム）：九大祭への出店をひとつの起業機会とみなし、会社設立から事業内容（出店で何をどのように売るか？）の検討、それに必要なメンバー（従業員）や必要資金の調達、２日間の店舗運営を行い、終了後は会計関連の報告を全て終えて会社を精算するところまで行う。 J.O.C.（ジャンプアウト・チャレンジ）：学外のビジネスプランコンペなどに参加し、他流試合を通じて自身のアイデアや事業計画をブラッシュアップする（その旅費を大学が支援）。 G.C&C（グローバル・チャレンジ＆クリエイション）：諸外国のビジネスプランコンテストに挑戦し、グローバルレベルの他流試合を通じて、自身のアイデアや事業計画をブラッシュアップする（その旅費を大学が支援）。 アカデミック・チャレンジ（A.C.）：大学院生が研究室で取り組みたい独自の研究テーマを提案し、それに対し５０万円の研究助成を行う。（研究は、基礎段階であっても、将来何らかのイノベーションに結びつくことが念頭に置かれている） ・例えば2018年までに、最も歴史のあるC&Cでは438人、アイデア・バトルでは217人、QSHOPでは416人、ACでは63人、G.C&Cでは32人が参加してきた。2011年（QREC設立）以来の累計は、1,242人がS.I.P.を利用して様々な実践活動に取り組んできた。 ・その中には、例えば、独自の風洞製作に取り組む学生さんの場合、2013年と2014年にC&Cに採択されて最優秀賞を獲得し、2015年にはG.C&Cで台湾のGreen Tech Contestに参加し「最高技術賞」を受賞した。この学生さんは、その後卒業と同時に「日本風洞製作所」を設立し、独自技術を用いて、スキー選手や自転車競技選手の空力改善などに用いられる風洞を設計・製作・販売している。 ・また、ジビエ（野生鳥獣の食肉）プロジェクトに取り組む学生さんは、2016年のC&Cで最優秀賞を受賞し、その後、「糸島ジビエ研究所」という会社を設立し、イノシシやシカなどの害獣駆除と美味しいジビエのレストランへの卸売を結びつけた事業を展開している。 ・ディープ・ラーニング技術による病理画像診断ソフトの開発を行う学生さんは、2017年にC&Cで助成を受け、その後「メドメイン」という会社を設立し、シリコンバレーのコンペで優勝するなどした後に、現在ではJ-Startup（経済産業省が推進するスタートアップ支援プログラム）に認定されている。 ・あるいは、G.C&C助成を受けたチームは、発展途上国の課題解決を目的とする世界的にも著名なHult Prizeの日本大会で最優秀賞を受賞している。 ・以上のように、学生チームの主体的な実践活動を促すことで、教育効果を高める仕組みとなっているのが、QRECの教育プログラムの大きな特徴である。 【今回のまとめ】 ・アントレプレナーシップ教育では、科目提供に加えて、学生（チーム）の主体的な実践活動を促すことが、教育効果を高めることにつながる。

In the first episode of Project E, I've invited Diala Daoud the Co-Founder of LaunchDXB. Diala J. Daoud is a startup enthusiast who started her journey in the startup ecosystem 6 years ago in Lebanon. Initially seeking a part-time job while pursuing her master’s degree, Diala never thought that a job opportunity at the Center for Research and Innovation (a pre-incubator) at the American University of Beirut will change her career path forever. In fact, it was her stepping stone into the startup world that she soon fell in love with. After working for 4 years at the Center, Diala simultaneously took on projects with UNICEF and INJAZ Lebanon for the GIL project, a social entrepreneurship initiative to support underprivileged communities. She then worked with a global social entrepreneurship accelerator Hult Prize. Throughout her years of experience, Diala got to work closely with 150+ startup, which gave her clear insight into what startup ecosystems need most, and what entrepreneurs passionately seek throughout their journeys. Those first 6 years of her career culminated in Diala co-founding Launch DXB, a platform that caters to aspiring, early-stage, and fledging startups, in addition to established SMEs, independent professionals, and freelancers who want to venture forward with their business setups in Dubai, supporting them through online and offline activations. In this episode, Diala talks about her journey, the basics of setting up a business, financials and legal considerations, as well as team dynamics considerations.

Four students at University College London who launched aptly named Rice Inc. have been awarded the $1 million Hult Prize to meet the official challenge to “build a scalable, sustainable social enterprise that harnesses the power of energy to transform the lives of 10 million people by 2025.” Their plan is to make fast, effective and affordable rice drying available to smallholder farmers who, lacking the technology, typically lose about 20% of their harvest in the drying process. Today, those farmers simply spread their rice on the ground in the sun, where is it vulnerable to weather, birds and other pests that may eat or contaminate the rice. “We solve inefficiencies in the rice supply chain caused by an existing power imbalance between smallholder farmers and millers,” says Kisum Chan, the team’s chief marketing officer. “We solve this by providing farmers with access to drying and storage facilities which can potentially unlock the true value of their harvest.” Read the full Forbes article and watch the interview here: http://bit.ly/2pZSuZs.

This year, the challenge was to double the income of 1 million people in the developing world. The winning team created a texting system that optimizes the inefficient public transportation market in Kenya. The $1 million prize was announced at the Clinton Global Initiative last month. The Clinton Foundation has announced that this will be the last such event and most of the employees have been given notice that that they will be laid off at the end of the year. The CGI was founded in 2005 to help find solutions to the world’s biggest problems. Being recognized at the final CGI is a historic footnote. Karim Samra, Chief Operating Officer of the Hult Prize Foundation, was closely involved with the judging process. He explains why the Magic Bus Ticketing team won. “Magic Bus Ticketing launched a startup that clearly meets a number of critical success factors including raising income levels for local drivers and conductors, a focus on significantly improving outcomes for millions through more efficient and effective transportation options, demonstrable financial and technical feasibility, a novel and unique approach that leverages technology appropriately for the market (sms-based), and embedded mechanisms for fast scale (financial rewards).” -------------------- Read the full Forbes article and watch the interview here: http://bit.ly/2edIuc0.

Michael Custer and a team of students at Jiaotong University in Shanghai, inspired by the Hult Prize, saw a problem and created a solution for it. As Michael explains, “The problem is illiteracy. Across the developing world, millions and millions of people remain illiterate. The UN estimates there to be 900 million illiterate people worldwide and a third of this population lives in India, where 289 million Indian adults are illiterate.” “Illiteracy is not just a problem for the individual though, it also creates tremendous problems for the next generation. Academic research has repeatedly proved the inter-generational transmission of illiteracy and its close link to poverty. The worst part is, that for young children, the best way to develop the skills necessary for future literacy is to be read to during their early years (ages 6 and under), a task that is literally impossible for illiterate parents,” he continued. Their solution, called teleStory, is as simple as it is brilliant. Combining modern cloud telephony and mobile phones, teleStory has created a system that empowers illiterate parents to read to their children for the first time. To accomplish this, we first buy and record the audio for local children’s books. This audio is then uploaded to our cloud. We then partner with ngos already operating in the early childhood space in India and establish our libraries or book distribution centers. Parents then take a book from one of these libraries and give teleStory’s number a missed call. When the parents receive a call back they will be prompted to enter the ID of the book they took. The ID and our phone number will be on a label on the front or back cover of the book. Once they enter the ID the audio that corresponds to the words will play page by page. To go to the next page the parent presses one and to repeat a page the parent presses two. Michael says the team has a big goal. “Our goal is to intervene in a child’s early years – the year’s most important to brain development- and break the illiteracy cycle, a key step towards ending the poverty cycle. The inability to read traps a person in poverty, drastically holding back one’s economic potential.” Please consider whether a friend or colleague might benefit from this piece and, if so, share it.

It’s a fundamental injustice that caps their potential and robs children of the futures they deserve,” says SOMOS Managing Director, Anne Friedman. SOMOS was recently recognized as a Hult Prize finalist at the Clinton Global Initiative. Anne explains further, “Children who don’t receive high quality ECE in the first 5 years of life suffer from depressed educational and health outcomes, starting school about 2 years behind and never catching up. Even family stability decades later is affected by the education a young child receives. The problem is that potential is distributed equally but opportunity is not. Millions of children born into poverty are never given a fair chance to succeed and are then condemned for their failure in adulthood. It’s a tragic violation of the human right to dignity, life, and the pursuit of potential.” SOMOS is a student-led social venture that was created to address the problem of unequal access to ECE. Anne describes the effort, saying, “We’re giving parents the tools and support they need to change their children’s lives. First, healthy childhood development is predicated on high-quality interaction with a loving adult. For many and complicated reasons, the norms around parenting in situations of urban poverty often lead to suboptimal outcomes for kids. They simply don’t get as much developmentally beneficial interaction as their more affluent peers. But that’s easily changed! Give parents simple, fun suggestions for how to integrate their child’s education into their daily lives and they do it!” “We deliver world class, age appropriate educational curricula directly to their mobile phone. We do it in small groups of parents so they can provide advice and support to each other. Not only are the benefits of peer-to-peer learning proven and significant, we believe having a community of support that follows a child for a lifetime is critical to changing his life trajectory. Many of the benefits of most of the world’s best early childhood education programs are lost before 3rd grade. We wanted to make sure they last and we think community is the way to make that happen,” she continued. Anne shared the SOMOS vision of the future with me: Call to mind your vision of a “slum.” Maybe it’s the favelas of Brazil, the townships of South Africa, the barrios of Mexico City, or the housing projects of Chicago. Imagine the kids growing up there and what their lives must be like. Now, imagine that every single one of them graduates high school prepared for college and/or jobs with dignity that allow them to provide for their families. Imagine their parents woven together into a safety net that doesn’t allow any of their children to fall through the cracks. That’s what we want to build. We want to connect parents with each other, and the resources they need, to turn their “slums” into safe-havens, to give themselves and their kids the futures they deserve.

Ulixes Hawili, with a team of student entrepreneurs from the University of Tampa, has created a company called Tembo Education, a 2015 Hult Prize finalist, to provide a proven curriculum of training to African parents to help their children prepare for school. Ulixes, the Chief Intelligence Officer of Tembo, explains, “The problem is the lack of early childhood education in developing countries across the world. Millions of children are not afforded an opportunity to a high quality education and we believe that advanced economies are morally inclined to confront issues of this magnitude, even if it means making tremendous sacrifices.” Noting that 86 percent of the population in sub-Saharan African have access to a mobile device, Ulixes says, “We are providing a high quality curriculum and training to parents across sub-Saharan Africa through mobile phones, effectively providing them with something that they do not have through something that they do.” “Providing access to a quality early childhood education in developing countries will lay the foundation for economic development by catalyzing the acquisition of human capital, boosting relative incomes, and opening the door to foreign investment in the region,” Ulixes concludes.

Jamie Austin and Aisha Bukhari co-founded Attollo SE Inc. as graduate students at the Rotman School of Management at the University of Toronto. Attollo was selected as a finalist for the 2015 Hult Prize competition, awarded last month at the Clinton Global Initiative. Jamie explains, “Young children from underprivileged families do not develop the vocabulary they need for success in primary school. The extent that the vocabulary of these children is behind their more privileged peers has been termed the vocabulary gap.” Aisha notes that over 100 million under-privileged kids are not ready for primary school, adding, “A key reason less-privileged children are not primary school ready and drop out of school later in life is that they are unable to understand and communicate with the world around them. They lack the quantity and variety of words needed to develop meaning and understanding of words. They lack the vocabulary needed to succeed.” “Talking Stickers, which is comprised of an electronic device called ollo that can scan stickers, record and play-back audio in any language or dialect, helps parents deliver educational content from our partner educational organizations to their children. Talking Stickers also enables children to learn in unstructured ways through exploration of their world and environment,” Jamie says. Aisha adds, “Since stickers can be placed on anything, Talking Stickers transform common household items into educational toys. Talking Stickers follow proven, culturally relevant, early learning curriculum to deliver the best education for every child in their home. In essence, Talking Stickers is a teaching tool, empowering parents to talk, sing and read to their children in a playful manner and build their vocabulary.” Aisha explains their passion, saying, “We believe that literacy is a fundamental human right.” “Language development is just the beginning. We envision Talking Stickers as a tool to communicate information about health, nutrition and all areas of early childhood development. Millions of parents struggle with correct usage of child products (medicine, nutrition supplements etc) because they are unable to read. Talking Stickers solve this problem by providing audio instructions enabling parents to correctly use child products,” Aisha concludes. Jamie adds, “We aim to help underprivileged children below the age of 6 to develop their vocabulary skills, making them ready for primary school. This will help them to succeed in school and will increase their chances to get a good job and lift their family out of poverty.” Please consider whether a friend or colleague might benefit from this piece and, if so, share it.

With the abundant opportunities afforded those of means, he has chosen the path of a social entrepreneur in an effort to improve early childhood education around the world. Prudot sees the problem this way, “Over 100 million children under the age of six are living in underserved communities and do not have access to quality early childhood education. This situation leads to children being unprepared to enter primary school and with a weaker social and emotional foundation, thus making it more challenging for the youth to thrive and become productive members of society.” Prudot led the formation of a team of student entrepreneurs in Taiwan, where he attends business school at National Chengchi University. The team launched IMPCT, which operates Playcares.com, and competed in and won the 2015 Hult Prize competition at the Clinton Global Initiative last month. Prudot explains the business, which provides infrastructure for women in the developing world to provide bona fide educational services rather than mere daycare, saying, “We are building a bridge between people that want and are able to become part of a solution with hardworking communities that only need an opportunity. Playcares.com is not only a financial inclusion mechanism to empower women to run Playcares, but it is also a way to generate awareness of how quality early childhood education will break the poverty cycle.” “By 2020 we aim to allow 10 million children to have access to the type of early education that will change their life trajectory in a positive way. Additionally, by attracting millions of people to participate in Playcares.com we will set the precedent that investing in and empowering people from underserved communities is not only the best way to make an impact but an exceptional investment opportunity,” Prudot asserts.

Hult Prize finalist Bee Healthy is looking to revolutionize medical diagnostics by training bees to smell chemical indicators of disease. Founder Tobias Hortsmann explains that “Every disease leaves a unique “footprint” of chemical biomarkers on a persons breath.” He adds, “Bees are 10,000 times more sensitive to chemicals in the air than humans.” He notes that, “Bees can be trained to react to certain biomarkers that are indicative for a disease. They would stick out their tongue when they identify a certain biomarker on a persons breath.” More remarkable, perhaps, than that bees’ sense of smell is that, according to Tobias, "Training a bee takes around 10 minutes and works like the typical classical conditioning (pavlovian conditioning)."
