TEDxMitte – The Future is Now

TEDxMitte brings together a community of thinkers, innovators, and change-makers.

At TEDxMitte 2025, we bring bold ideas to life under the theme “The Future is Now” – a call to action that reminds us: the future isn’t something we wait for. It’s something we create today.

Join 11 visionary speakers and live performance acts who are rewriting the rules of tech, culture and society – proving that real change begins in the everyday, not “someday”.
