Hult Prize Chittagong University has announced its new governing body for the 2025–26 On-Campus Round, appointing Khaled Mahmud Onik as Campus Director, Karin Saffana as Chief Strategist and Kazi Muhaiminul Islam Munaj as Chief of Staff.
The organising committee, structured into eight departments, will work to foster innovation, inspire social impact and prepare student teams for national and global stages of the competition.
Campus Director Khaled Mahmud Onik said, "The Hult Prize has created a platform for students to develop their skills in creative thinking, teamwork and solving real-world problems."
Chief Strategist Karin Saffana added, "Hult Prize is a platform that empowers youth to bring their best ideas forward. It's often called the Nobel Prize for students because here, young minds turn possibilities into impact."
Chief of Staff Kazi Muhaiminul Islam Munaj highlighted the programme's growing influence, saying, "As one of the best campus programmes in Central and South Asia, Hult Prize at the University of Chittagong has been working to promote sustainable business from the port city and drive positive social impact. We hope to extend that impact this tenure."
Building on last year's success, the 2025–26 edition will once again host the on-campus competition across the University of Chittagong. Top teams will advance to the national round with the opportunity to represent Bangladesh on the international stage.
