TEDxSAIGON STUDIO 2025: WHERE KNOWLEDGE MEETS VIETNAM’S NATURE ON THE GLOBAL STAGE

The TEDxSaiGon Studio 2025 project has officially completed its special filming phase at Tam Chúc National Tourism Area. Centered on the theme of weaving Vietnamese aspirations into the country’s natural landscapes, this year’s edition marks a bold creative journey—where inspiring stories are told amid majestic scenery and a spacious, spiritual atmosphere.


When landscapes become a language of storytelling


Building on the eight-year journey of TEDxSaiGon (formerly TEDxĐaKao), TEDxSaiGon Studio is a licensed initiative recognized by TED International and developed as a long-term Studio format. TEDx Talks are filmed in natural settings closely connected to Vietnam’s most iconic landmarks, expanding storytelling beyond the traditional stage. Nature becomes an integral part of the narrative—where scenery, visuals, and knowledge move in harmony—transforming each video into a living “postcard” of Vietnam.

Following the success of previous editions, TEDxSaiGon Studio 2025 was filmed over three days, December 8–10, 2025, in collaboration with the non-profit organization Cultural & Tourism Talent Incubator, Tam Chúc National Tourism Area, Bai Dinh Pagoda, and Trang An Scenic Landscape Complex. The vast lakes, solemn limestone mountains, and open spiritual space created a distinctive emotional layer for each talk. Within this setting, the 15 talks no longer stand alone; instead, they interweave into a collective portrait of a modern Vietnamese generation—confident, thoughtful, and possessing a voice of its own.


Guidance from dedicated mentors


Behind the success of each presentation lies a journey of persistent training and in-depth professional guidance. The Organizing Committee was honored to work alongside two dedicated mentors who spent months guiding and refining the thinking of young speakers through intensive training sessions.

Their devoted mentorship not only ensured academic rigor in line with global TEDx standards, but also ignited confidence within each individual.

15 young voices – 15 missions to spread knowledge


TEDxSaiGon Studio 2025 brings together 15 outstanding speakers from diverse fields, united by a shared aspiration to introduce a modern, culturally rich Vietnam to the world. Their talks span a wide range of topics, reflecting multiple perspectives and concerns—from preserving traditional culture, promoting sustainable tourism, and innovating education, to personal journeys of overcoming challenges and pushing beyond one’s limits.

From national identity to a global language of knowledge


More than a filming project, TEDxSaiGon Studio 2025 pursues a long-term mission of impact and dissemination. The talks are scheduled to be released on the international TEDx platform in early 2026. The project aims to offer global audiences an authentic perspective on a Vietnam that is youthful, confident, deeply rooted in its identity, and ready to tell its story through the shared language of knowledge, humanity, and nature.

To realize this vision, TEDxSaiGon Studio continues to seek partnerships with strategic collaborators and like-minded organizations, with the goal of expanding its scale and bringing this distinctive storytelling model to more landmarks and communities in the future.

About TEDx

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TED has created a program 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 TEDxĐaKao, where x = independently organized TED event. At our TEDxĐaKao event, TEDTalks video and live speakers will combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events, including ours, are self-organized.
