Hult Prize Taiwan Forum 2025: Bridging Global Vision with Taiwan Innovation

Dec 7, 2025

On December 6, 2025, the Hult Prize Taiwan Forum brought together students from NCKU, NCCU, NSYSU, and beyond for an engaging online session aimed at turning global entrepreneurial insights into practical strategies for Taiwan’s next generation of changemakers.

Opening remarks by Belén, Hult Prize APAC Regional Manager, and Leslie Tsai, CEO of Atelier Future, emphasized that Hult Prize is more than a competition—it’s a journey of learning, risk-taking, and real-world impact. Campus Directors from the three universities highlighted the importance of cross-campus collaboration and international exposure as foundations for long-term entrepreneurial growth.

The forum featured four inspiring sessions from past global finalists and winners. Celunova shared tips on leveraging mentor networks to navigate complex challenges, while Uproot emphasized solution-focused pitching and memorable storytelling. Locol illustrated how sustainable ventures can combine social impact with economic viability, and Stick’Em motivated participants to embrace failure and start taking action, highlighting the importance of resilience and accessible design.

Participants left the forum with key takeaways: fall in love with the problem, accept rejection as part of the journey, and trust in your team. The event concluded with a collective reflection and a virtual group photo, leaving students energized to transform ideas into meaningful impact.
