Innsbruck is a place known for its active start-up scene as well as for hosting one of the biggest universities in Austria. Its open-minded atmosphere makes space for creativity and innovation, and the respective new ideas keep being implemented successfully in businesses. In an increasingly complex world with growing challenges such as climate change, new ideas are badly needed and may well pay off in many ways. TEDxInnsbruck pursues the goal to provide individuals with a platform who think beyond the ordinary – be it in scientific, technical, artistic or social fields. Several speakers will share their ideas with a broad audience at the event as well as the TEDx youtube community. Let’s think beyond together at TEDxInnsbruck on 25th September 2021! TED is a nonprofit devoted to spreading ideas, usually in the form of short, powerful talks (18 minutes or less). TED began in 1984 as a conference where Technology, Entertainment and Design converged, and today covers almost all topics — from science to business to global issues — in more than 100 languages. Meanwhile, independently run TEDx events to help share ideas in communities around the world. In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TED Talks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.
