TEDxBinnenhof at the Dutch Embassy in Dublin to showcase Irish and Dutch ingenious ideas

By @SimonCocking. The TEDxBinnenhof Dutch embassies around the world are spreading Ideas worth Spreading. This year the Embassy in Dublin will be hosting a special event in partnership with Irish Tech News. Register for your free tickets here. See more about the Dutch Embassy Dublin.

The current world problems are only solvable with innovative, ingenious ideas. The Dutch embassy in Dublin wants to bring Dutch and Irish ideas together. To listen to innovators, discuss their projects and let’s brainstorm together about solutions for the current challenges we stand for. The aim is to create a platform of inspiration for Dutch and Irish businesses, civil servants and (international) students.

Innovative ideas from Ireland and the Netherlands | Ingenious solutions to current challenges

is the theme of the TEDxBinnenhof 2016 viewing event. It is great to see Ireland and the Netherlands represented during the TEDxBinnenhof event in The Hague. We will livestream both talks and have a Q&A and discussion afterwards. The keynote speaker Jojanneke van den Bosch will present our event. She will be the icing on the cake when finishing the event with background information about TED talks and some tips about public speaking.

 

Because of the broadness of challenges today, the speakers have totally different backgrounds. Andrew Douglas, who runs an urban farm on Dublin’s rooftops and grows oyster mushrooms out of coffee grid, gives his solutions to current challenges as food security and urbanisation.

And totally different, is the Dutch curator Adriaan Waiboer of the National Gallery of Ireland.

All in all a highly interesting event where the speakers are not just senders with a platform of interaction and innovative thinking.
