Global Challenges; Dutch Solutions

Global Challenges; Dutch Solutions

On March 31 2014, Dutch innovators will pitch their smart solutions to global problems
(theme: Global Challenges | Dutch Solutions) to the audience in the Ridderzaal, and to the
world.

  • On various locations in the Netherlands and abroad (among which app. 40 Dutch embassies
    and consulates) viewing parties will be organized
  • The partnership consists of companies, knowledge institutes, ministries, and media
  • The partners have joined forces to discover the smartest solutions for global problems that
    the Dutch have to offer. The innovators are acquired through a unique process of crowd
    sourcing, talent search, and auditions
  • The goal of TEDxBinnenhof is not only to inspire with positive news on Dutch innovations, but
    certainly also to connect innovators worldwide, and to spread the spirit of innovation
