What is the TEDx Global Idea Search?

In partnership with nine TEDx organizers, TED is holding nine Global Idea Searches in 2025. Anyone with an idea worth spreading can apply. Each search will culminate in a spectacular in-person event showcasing remarkable ideas from that region. One speaker from each event will be invited to give their talk live at the TED conference in Vancouver in April 2026. Find out more.
