On 5 November, TEDxEindhoven brings the boldest ideas from across Brainport to the stage at the High Tech Campus. A selection of pitchers, from labs, start-ups and kitchen tables, will each get five minutes to make their case. A jury of TEDxEindhoven speaker coaches and partners will score every pitch, and the audience will get a vote too. The winner will be coached by the TEDxEindhoven team and start the path toward a full talk at TEDxEindhoven 2027.
Come see ideas raw, a year before they reach the main stage, and stay for drinks and networking afterwards. The evening is in English.
