TEDxSaigon’s Founding Organizer - Mrs. Ngoc Anh Hoang is honored to officially welcome TED representative to Vietnam from April 1st – 4th, 2026 in Hanoi, and tentatively in May for a visit to Ho Chi Minh City. This visit marks a significant milestone—not only for TEDxSaigon, but for the broader journey of connecting Vietnam’s ideas, people, and organizations to the global TED ecosystem and the world's demands.

TED: A GLOBAL ECOSYSTEM OF MEDIA POWER HOUSE + CREATIVE HUB + IDEAS CHANGE THE WORLD

Since its early days, TEDxSaigon has been driven by a clear mission: to bring Vietnamese ideas to the global stage and connect local brilliance with international opportunities.

We believe Vietnam is rich in untold stories, innovative thinkers, and impactful initiatives—ready to be shared with the world through the power of ideas.

And so, our founding organizer has been connected with TED to build this bridge.

TED VISION OF PARTNERSHIP: BRIDGING A GLOBAL PLATFORM WITH VIETNAM

Many see TED as just "flagship conferences" or "talks that change the world". But TED is much MORE. It is a dynamic, living ecosystem: a global media powerhouse reaching millions, a hub for creative campaigns that spark real-world solutions, and a bridge that connects great minds to exclusive global networks.

STRATEGIC VISIT OF TED LEADERSHIP: UNLOCKING NEW OPPORTUNITIES

During the visit, TED representatives will engage with selected partners to explore:

• Strategic collaborations within the TED ecosystem with Vietnam-based companies

• High-impact “Big Ideas” of Partnership from Vietnam

• Opportunities to consult with representatives of both TED & TEDxSaigon

With direct support from TEDxSaigon’s founders and organizing team, partners will experience a guided and curated journey throughout this process.

FUTURE DIRECTION OF TED: EXPANDING FORMATS & PARTNERSHIPS WITH VIETNAM ENTITIES

Building on this important exchange, TEDxSaigon is planning to expand its impact through:

• TED Future in Vietnam: TED targets to reach each country based on its strengths and leverage the stories, ideas, and people who shape the country's leading industries.

• Animise Vietnam stories & educate with TED-ed channels

• Creative campaign in Vietnam 

• Ads & Media Editorials with Vietnam brands.

This marks a shift from standalone events to a continuous ecosystem of ideas, content, and collaboration.

TED: YEARNING FOR IMPACTFUL & LONG-TERM COLLABORATION 

TED & TEDxSaiGon share the same interest: not only in seeking sponsors, but also in searching for long-term partners who foster the vision of creating impacts

Through collaboration, partners can become part of a global network that values ideas, innovation, and community-driven growth—while ultimately positioning Vietnam on the global map of “ideas change the world”.

A DEFINING MOMENT FOR VIETNAM

The upcoming visit of TED representatives marks a key opportunity to connect Vietnam’s ideas and organizations with the global TED ecosystem. TEDxSaigon is proud to facilitate this connection—bridging ideas, people, and partnerships between Vietnam and the world.
