On 31 March 12 innovative European entrepreneurs will take to the stage in the Knight’s Hall in The Hague, the Netherlands, as part of TEDxBinnenhof.

TEDxBinnenhof is a platform for sharing ideas and for inspiring and encouraging people to use their entrepreneurial spirit to solve global challenges and, in turn, become the lifeblood of Europe’s economy.

In the run-up to its European Council Presidency, the Netherlands organised a contest entitled ‘Ideas from Europe’ which asked each member state to invite their most innovative entrepreneur to compete for a chance to speak at TEDxBinnenhof.

The 12 winners will discuss their ideas, which include issues such as high quality education in developing countries, accessible and affordable medicine, and creating jobs for people with disabilities.

The event will be opened by state secretary for economic affairs Martijn van Dam and will be attended by European commissioners Carlos Moedas and Elżbieta Bieńkowska. It has been co-organised by the European Commission’s DG Growth, as well as the Dutch ministries of economic and foreign affairs, together with private partners such as TomTom, Shell, ING, Alliander and World Startup Factory.
