EF Hult Prize 2026: Investor Demo Day at Google HQ, London
This year, 250,000 people from 131 countries participated in the EF Hult Prize - the world's largest competition for student founders.
The top 21 will be presenting their ventures at this Demo Day at Google's London HQ.
👉 Meet the Startups
The judging panel comprises leading impact investors in the UK, to help us select the top 8 finalists eligible for the $1M investment from EF Hult Prize. Alongside the panel, 60+ investors (VCs, angels, and LPs) from across the industry will be attending the demo day.
These are founders building bold, scalable solutions across climate, health, education, fintech, and more. Most are revenue-generating and growing fast. Details on this year's cohort will be shared closer to the time.
The EF Hult Prize has consistently been a source of exceptional early-stage talent in the global startup ecosystem. Our alumni have gone on to build startups backed by leading accelerators and funds including Y Combinator, Antler, Entrepreneur First, Khosla Ventures, and more.
