TEDxAmsterdam 2026: What Comes After Growth?
We're in between worlds, at the cusp of change. For our 16th edition, we open the floor to the ideas that could shape what comes next: technology and what it means to be human, economies beyond endless growth, and who gets to build the world we're inheriting.
READY TO MAKE AN IMPACT?
If you have an idea for how to tackle a pressing issue in the world, our Impact Program, will help nurture that idea over eight transformative weeks.
With expert guidance and hands-on coaching, you’ll learn, grow, and push your idea beyond the page. From early sketches to real-world impact, you’ll build the skills and confidence needed to bring your vision to life. The journey leads up to the TEDx stage, where your breakthrough project will be shared with a community ready to listen, support, and celebrate change in action.
Applications are now open.
Deadline: 20 March 2026
