NHUB is the speech and project competition that started it all. "Надад Хэлэх Үг Байна," "I have something to say." A generation of pitches, the launchpad for Breathe Mongolia. Currently paused while we restructure for a stronger relaunch with bigger seed funding and dedicated mentorship.

03 · 2019 NYC · Most notable cohort

Breathe

Three project presentations and UNDP Mongolia's Blue Gold screening. The cohort spun out Breathe Mongolia, the air-quality campaign that has exhibited at every summit since. NHUB Lead: Jantsankhorol Damdinsuren. Head Judge: Galbadrakh Gombosuren.
04 · 2016 SF · The 6th edition

191
/ 200.

First combined with MACF. Eight finalists, eight criteria, 200 points possible. Winner: E. Saruul (Indiana University).

NHUB is paused. The community isn't. Year-round programs continue. We send weekly on Wednesdays — when applications reopen, the early list hears first.
