10 speakers. 10 different perspectives. One room.

We didn’t bring these speakers together because they all think alike.

Quite the opposite.

They come from healthcare, science, climate action, leadership, creativity, technology, mobility, human connection, and innovation.

And each of them is bringing a question worth spending time with.

Esther Ogbole asks whether pastoral systems can help us rethink climate action.

Hana Brellah explores the hidden power of multicultural intelligence.

Chan Park takes us from NASA engineering to tango meditation and human connection.

Serena Hatfield asks why capable people get stuck.

Martin Maier challenges us to ask what innovation is really for.

Ayimire Dilimulati explores what our health data could tell us before illness appears.

Karen Cousins asks why everyone should care about creativity.

Lydia Gehrlein questions whether we are asking the right questions about sustainable mobility.

Philipp Keil brings us back to something deeply human: trust, connection, and the idea of the Mitmensch.

Dr. Victoria Tokareva asks how we can make sure scientific discoveries remain useful for the generations that come after us.

Different fields.
Different experiences.
Different questions.

But one thing connects them:

They all have something they believe is worth putting into the room.

And in just a few days, that room will be filled with 400 people ready to listen, question, connect, and perhaps see something differently.

This is TEDxKarlsruhe 2026.

We’re ready for the ideas.
We’re ready for the conversations.
We’re ready for the impact.

2 DAYS TO GO🎉.

Today, we’re putting the spotlight on the place where it all comes together.

BGV Karlsruhe.

In just two days, this won’t simply be a building.

It will be a room filled with 400 people, 10 speakers, questions, ideas, conversations, music, and unexpected encounters.

This is where speakers will step onto the stage.
Where ideas will be challenged.
Where the Open Spark Stage will give new voices a moment to be heard.
Where people from different backgrounds and industries will meet.

And where, hopefully, a few conversations will continue long after the day is over.

We’ve spent months preparing for this.

Now the room is waiting.

3 DAYS TO GO — WITH CHAN PARK

From NASA Engineering to Tango Meditation

3 days until TEDxKarlsruhe 2026.

What if some of the most important discoveries don’t happen by engineering the world around us, but by learning to understand ourselves?

Chan Park’s story moves from NASA engineering to tango, meditation, and human connection.

His work with Tango Zen explores what happens when we stop thinking only about movement as technique and start experiencing it as a way to become more present, connected, and aware.

Because sometimes innovation isn’t about creating something completely new.

Sometimes it’s about seeing something familiar differently.

In 3 days, Chan will bring that perspective to the TEDxKarlsruhe stage.

10.10.2026 | BGV Karlsruhe

Three days.
One room.
Ten speakers.
Countless perspectives.

Come be part of the day.

4 DAYS TO GO — WITH SERENA HATFIELD

Why Do Capable People Get Stuck?

4 days until TEDxKarlsruhe 2026.

We often assume that if someone is capable, experienced, and motivated, they should know how to move forward.

But what if that’s not always the case?

What if capable people can still get stuck — not because they lack talent, but because something else is missing?

And what if there is a form of intelligence that helps people navigate change, create movement, and turn ideas into action — but our institutions have never learned how to recognize or measure it?

That’s the question Serena Hatfield brings to the TEDxKarlsruhe stage.

4 days. One question that might make you look differently at yourself, your work, and the people around you.

Are you ready to explore it?

SPEAKER SPOTLIGHT — DR. VICTORIA TOKAREVA

Forget My Science Not

What happens to a scientific discovery if the next generation can’t find it, understand it, verify it, or build on it?

Scientific discoveries remain valuable only if future generations can understand, verify, and reuse them.

But science doesn’t move forward through discoveries alone. It also depends on how knowledge is shared, documented, preserved, and passed on.

That’s the question Dr. Victoria Tokareva brings to the TEDxKarlsruhe stage.

Because the future of science doesn’t only depend on what we discover today.

It depends on whether tomorrow’s scientists can still find the knowledge we leave behind.

5 DAYS TO GO — WITH AYIMIRE DILIMULATI

“Healthy” Data

5 days until TEDxKarlsruhe 2026.

We talk a lot about using data to understand disease.

But what if we could learn much more from the data collected before someone becomes sick?

By the time a disease is diagnosed, doctors may have a clear picture of what is happening — but only scattered clues about the years that led there.

What could become possible if we had a better picture of our health while we were still healthy?

That’s the question Ayimire Dilimulati brings to the TEDxKarlsruhe stage.

Her perspective connects biomedical engineering, personal health data, prevention, and the possibilities of AI — asking us to rethink not just how we treat illness, but how we understand health before illness appears.

5 days.

What could we discover if we started paying attention to the story our health data tells us?

Why Everyone Should Care About Creativity

6 days until TEDxKarlsruhe 2026.

Creativity isn’t just for artists, designers, or people who call themselves creative.

It’s in the way we solve problems, see possibilities, express ourselves, and imagine things differently.

But somewhere along the way, many of us stop seeing ourselves as creative.

What if rediscovering that creative spark could help us find our voice — and use it in ways that truly matter?

That’s the question Karen Cousins brings to the TEDxKarlsruhe stage.

Six days until we explore new ideas, challenge familiar thinking, and ask better questions.

Will you be in the room?

7 DAYS TO GO — WITH HANA BRELLAH

The Hidden Power of Multicultural Intelligence

7 days until TEDxKarlsruhe 2026.

We live, work, and lead across cultures every day.

But understanding another culture is more than knowing different traditions, languages, or ways of communicating.

What if there is a form of intelligence that helps us navigate cultural differences, understand perspectives, and build better connections?

And what if developing that intelligence could change the way we lead?

That’s the question Hana Brellah brings to the TEDxKarlsruhe stage.

7 days. One question worth exploring.

8 DAYS TO GO — MARTIN MAIER

What Is the Purpose of Innovation?

We often talk about innovation as if creating something new is enough.

A new technology.
A new product.
A new solution.

But what happens when we ask a different question:

What is it actually for?

Does innovation make healthcare more meaningful for the people who need it?
Does it solve a real problem?
Does it improve someone’s life — or are we simply creating what technology makes possible?

For Martin Maier, this is the question at the heart of his TEDx talk.

Because innovation is not only about what we can create. It’s about why we create it, who it serves, and what difference it makes.

8 days to go.

Want to explore that question with us?
