Mohammad commented:鈥�鈥淎lthough it was the first time I participated in the Hult Prize, I gained many experiences. The most valuable one was that I could expand my network. There is nothing more satisfying for me than being in contact with new friends and reminding myself that all people from all countries and races are the same. We need each other to make our present and future happier. Furthermore, we had this opportunity to find the gaps and weaknesses of our start-up business case through the jury questions after the presentation. All in all,鈥痶here is nothing to lose; it is all is about experiencing, learning, and winning.鈥濃��听
