Once a year, they organize a global competition for student teams to create start-ups aimed at solving an issue faced by billions in need.The challenge for this year is to build sustainable and scalable social enterprises to address the early childhood (age 0-6) education gap in urban slums.

The competition will feature two rounds. All teams that make it through the regional finals will be awarded a one-year membership in the Clinton Global Initiative and an opportunity to spend the summer at the Hult Prize Accelerator. The best team at the global finals will win the Hult Prize, which features US$1,000,000 in start-up funding that will be awarded by Mohammad Yunus and President Clinton.

Do you feel ready for competing with thousands of global students? Then team up and register at https://hultglobalcasechallenge.wufoo.com/forms/2015-hult-prize-application/ (no idea needed yet!) until December 25.

Entrepreneurial thinking is not only something that startup founders must learn - in our times, the ability to think and act entrepreneurially is critical to the long-term success of any organization! That is why the Bangkok University School of Entrepreneurship and Management (BUSEM) and the Babson College in Wellesley, Massachusetts (USA) offer this 21-day Summer University on Entrepreneurship in Asia: See yourself how other cultures do things differently, get insights into different mentalities in Asia and look behind the touristic curtains, learn firsthand from successful entrepreneurs sharing their thought and action with you, and take a fresh look on literally every aspect of organizations.

This 48-hour summer course provides an intensive academic program to develop entrepreneurial thinking skills, and is a unique programme designed specifically to expose students to cross cultural differences and how they affect many aspects of life in different working environments.

The program will consist of the 3 modules "Cross-cultural Communication", "Creating an Entrepreneurial Mindset" and "Meet Successful Entrepreneurs in Thought and Action". There will also be an intense non-academic program including visits of different regions in Thailand.

The Enactus World Cup is over! From October 22 to 24, 5000 Enactus members from all over the world met at Bejing to pitch their projects in front of a grand jury.

The nation of Germany was represented by the Enactus Mannheim team, which had won the National Cup in September. They won the preliminary round against Tadzhikistan and the Ukraine, but bowed out in the semifinal round against Puerto Rico. The world cup was won by China with a solar project, second place was secured by the Morroccan team with an innovative solution for the purification of water.

However, the three projects which were pitched by the Mannheim team are quite amazing anyway!

Intercreative is taking care of asylum seekers who have no work permit in Germany. Together with them, the team created a cookbook with foreign recipes ("Intercreative-Die Welt kocht im Quadrat" can now be bought at the university of Mannheim). This brought public attention to the conditions of asylum seekers and allowed the funding of some language and application courses for them.

Sunté is a project set in the rural regions of Togo. Local hospitals are being equipped with solar cells to give them a better power supply. Furthermore, visitor will be able to charge their cellphones in charging stations. This feature is meant to convince more people to enter a hospital, because many Togolese people distrust and avoid western medicine.

Finally, Autipreneur is a project that will help autistic people to realize their business ideas and market their products. To do that, they found companies which are solely led by autists! The project was created in cooperation with Auticare e.V. and has  already brought forth a first product: "Sonarglove" is a glove that works like an acoustic parking distance control system and allows blind people to find their way more easily inside of buildings.
