TEDxBerlin Salon: “Connecting the Dots” - 14:45 - 16:00
Sertig 1+2 · Mountain Plaza Hotel
TEDxBerlin Salon returns to Davos Week with a special interview-driven edition focused on AI—exploring its impact across national, regional, and individual perspectives.
AI is reshaping economies, policies, and societies—but conversations often stay fragmented. Different countries approach AI regulation, investment, and development in fundamentally different ways. Regional ecosystems develop their own AI capabilities and face unique challenges. And individuals—the founders, researchers, policymakers, and investors making daily decisions—ultimately determine what AI becomes and who benefits.
“Connecting the Dots” brings these perspectives into one conversation through curated interviews. How do nations position themselves in the global AI race? What's happening at the regional level where innovation meets real-world implementation?
Who are the movers and shakers driving breakthroughs from labs, boardrooms, and government offices?
Might you or someone you know be the movers and shakers? Apply here to speak: forms.office.com/e/qZzigaC7dX
