One TEDx with Two TED fellows:
Our guest speaker For this first TEDx in Madagascar was Dr. Sheila Ochugboju. Dr. Sheila is a TED fellow like Andriankoto Ratozamanana, Co-founder and CEO of MEGASEEDS Inc. Both are passionate about changing Africa. She will be working soon for the African Technology and Policy Studies (ATPS) network and will coordinate research and communication in science and technology innovations across 23 countries. Her wish is that Madagascar through MEGASEEDS™ joins the network of ATPS as the first private sector business to open the 24th national chapter in Africa.
Her experience at the GWIIN helped identifying innovative ways of getting ideas to market.
Two films was projected as part of the event.
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED - like experience.
At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers
combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x=independently organized TED event.
The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events including this event, is self-organized.
