The TED Idea Search touches down in Singapore, where eight speakers compete for an extraordinary prize. From a diver-turned-ocean-restorer reviving dead coral reefs to a scientist growing sustainable building materials out of fungus and a government insider reimagining public institutions, the ideas are as diverse as the Lion City itself. As TED’s coaches push each speaker to transform their thinking into a powerful narrative, nerves rise, breakthroughs emerge and one speaker earns the opportunity to share their idea on the global stage. Watch the full talks from the TEDxSingapore Idea Search: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLOGi5-fAu8bHWB-IkiEIBYwLsb6SPM3eG The most interesting ideas often come from the most unexpected places. We searched the globe for ideas with the power to inspire, motivate and change lives — and we found them at @TEDx events around the world. The TED Idea Search follows extraordinary speakers from 9 countries competing for a spot on the TED main stage in Vancouver this April. 00:00 - Intro 3:00 - Rehearsals 14:55 - The Talks 37:10 - Deliberation 39:53 - The Winner Is… A WING London production for TED Join us in person at a TED conference: https://tedtalks.social/events Become a TED Member to support our mission: https://ted.com/membership Subscribe to a TED newsletter: https://ted.com/newsletters Follow TED!
