In these final days of the year, Ecosilky has the opportunity to reflect on the journey of the past year – a year filled with difficulties but also meaningful accomplishments. Let’s take a look together with Ecosilky!
1. Participation in the Hult Competition
Ecosilky’s journey in 2023 commenced with participation in the Hult Competition. Collaborating with the SEN team on a sustainable materials project, Ecosilky acted as a sponsor for international student participants. This opportunity allowed Ecosilky to support and foster innovation in sustainable materials within the global community.
The Hult Award is an annual prize for global students organized by Hult International Business School in collaboration with the CGI Foundation, represented by former U.S. President Bill Clinton. The primary purpose of the Hult Award is to encourage business ideas of young entrepreneurs oriented towards social entrepreneurship.
