TEDx conference on sustainable transformation at ESMT Berlin
The speakers’ talks will delve into questions about the capital of Germany as a catalyst for change. Why does Berlin need a strong vision to drive the mobility transformation? How can sustainable transformation challenges be achieved and tackled? What role must education play for positive change?
“This year’s TEDx event is based on how the cities we live in can drive sustainable transformation. We strongly believe that we are far from having fully unlocked this potential,” says Ramsha Mistry, project lead of the TEDxESMT Berlin conference and master in management student at ESMT. “In the third year of the TEDxESMT Berlin series, very exciting speakers are again participating in the conference to not only give participants a deeper understanding of the topic but also to provide tangible insights.”
This year’s speakers include:
- Alina Bassi, Co-Founder and CEO, Kleiderly
- Julia Franchi Scarselli, Co-Founder, Libellula
- Annemieke Lais, General Manager, #wirfürschule
- Markus Müller, Managing Director, Chief Investment Officer ESG, and Global Head of Chief Investment Office, Deutsche Bank

About TEDx, x = independently organized 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, TED Talks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection. 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 are self-organized. (Subject to certain rules and regulations.)
