About the
Innovation Hub

The Innovation Hub is an integral part of the TEDxPanaji Conference— a vibrant, interactive showcase designed to complement the inspiring talks from the TEDx stage. While TEDx talks spark new ways of thinking, the Innovation Hub brings these ideas to life by giving space to real-world innovations and prototypes shaping the future.

Step on to the TEDxPanaji Stage!

At TEDxPanaji, we’re on a year-long quest to find speakers who can inform, inspire, surprise, and delight. Our event isn’t your typical conference—it's an experience, and our audience comes with high expectations. They look forward to hearing from amazing individuals who are revolutionizing the world with game-changing inventions, leading admired companies, designing beloved products, and creating cutting-edge media.

But we don't just spotlight established icons. TEDxPanaji is also a launchpad for emerging artists, scientists, thinkers, and doers, bringing them into the TED community before they become mainstream sensations.

How do we choose our speakers?

Our curatorial team meticulously selects speakers, focusing on ideas and innovations that truly matter. We invite distinguished experts, visionary artists, passionate activists, and many more to deliver our signature TED Talks, sharing their research and insights with the world.
