TEDx is an event organized under the patronage of TED - a relatively new program which was formed at a local level, often by higher education institutes and schools, libraries, local business, even from a group of friends who want to make, model and accept guests at a conference of an innovation type - in the style of the TED Conference. Since 25 years TED enables world scientists, designers and cultural innovators to share ideas with the world for 18 minutes.

First Investment Bank will continue its partnership relations with the organizers of the first ever conference TEDx in our country for the future by supporting their development and waiting for the good initiative to become a tradition.
