TEDxDavosPlatz: Invisible Bridges

THE CONVERSATION

19 January 2027

The next breakthrough may begin with a connection we have yet to see.

During Davos Week, people shaping business, public policy, science and society gather around questions with global consequences. TEDxDavosPlatz brings the power of ideas worth spreading into this setting, where a discovery, an unexpected perspective or a human story can enter a much wider conversation.

At Davos Assembly, the theme Invisible Bridges explores connections between global priorities and local realities, emerging technologies and human needs, research and lived experience. A discovery in one discipline can unlock an answer in another. A community’s experience can challenge an assumption held around the world.

Through a curated programme of TEDx talks, speakers will develop ideas grounded in evidence, experience and original thinking. The TEDx format gives each idea the focus it deserves. Davos Week creates an opportunity for those ideas to encounter people with different expertise, international networks and the capacity to put new thinking into practice.

In the spirit of unConference, the exchange continues beyond the stage. Questions, shared experiences and conversations become opportunities to discover connections that might otherwise remain invisible.

Come with a point of view. Leave with a wider one.

An independently organised TEDx event, hosted at Davos Assembly.
