The Voice of Innovation

Took placeMay 4, 2026
LocationStockholm, Stockholms län, Sweden
FormatSalon
Welcome to hear the voices of innovation at the TEDxKTH Salon event 2026. We are bringing together three compelling speakers to explore how ideas and knowledge are spread across the world. We will dive into what it means to reach people at scale, from building global developer communities to reshaping how institutions think about equity, finance and deep-tech. Along the way, we will see how amplifying underrepresented voices and perspectives can lead to conviction and make technology, finance, and the systems around us more equitable and ultimately, more effective for everyone.
