About us
eXplore, eXplain, eXcite
The purpose of TEDxLuxembourgCity is to bring people together to explore who we are and the world around us. We engage Luxembourg and the greater region to share and explain ideas and create a movement with a view to excite the community and build a better future for us all.
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TED has created a programme called TEDx
TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. Our event is called TEDxLuxembourgCity, where x = independently organized TED event. At our TEDxLuxembourgCity event, TEDTalks video and live speakers will combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. The TED Conference provides guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events, including ours, are self-organized.
About TED
TED is on a mission to discover and spread ideas that spark imagination, embrace possibility and catalyze impact. Our organization is devoted to curiosity, reason, wonder and the pursuit of knowledge — without an agenda. We welcome people from every discipline and culture who seek a deeper understanding of the world and engagement with others, and we invite everyone to engage with ideas and activate them in your community.
TED began in 1984 as a conference where Technology, Entertainment and Design converged. Today it spans a multitude of worldwide communities and initiatives exploring everything from science and business to education, arts and global issues. Aside from the hundreds of TED Talks curated from our annual conferences and published on TED.com, we produce original podcasts, short video series, animated TED-Ed lessons and TV programs that are translated into more than 100 languages and distributed via partnerships around the world. Each year, more than 3,000 independently run TEDx events bring people together to share ideas and bridge divides in communities on every continent. Through the Audacious Project, TED has helped catalyze nearly $3 billion in funding for projects that seek to make the world more beautiful, sustainable and just. In 2020, TED launched Countdown, an initiative to accelerate solutions to the climate crisis and mobilize a movement for a net-zero emission future.

TED is owned by a nonprofit, nonpartisan foundation. Our aim is to help create a future worth pursuing for all.
