”Unseen Currents: Stories that shape us”

Beneath every visible success, connection, and transformation lie powerful forces — unseen currents — quietly shaping who we are and where we are headed.
At the 2026 TEDxESMT Berlin, under the theme “Unseen Currents: Stories that shape us”, we’re shining a light on the subtle shifts and quiet forces that move us forward. Our speakers come with stories of moments when the tide changed—not loud or obvious at first, but powerful nonetheless.

Gather with innovators, leaders, athletes and changemakers for a day of thought-provoking talks, meaningful conversations, and creative inspiration. Discover the ideas that could reshape your thinking and impact your future.
