On Saturday, the Technopark campus here will bring leaders from the technology, entertainment and design domains onto a common platform to exchange ideas and foster innovation.

Named TED (Technology, Entertainment and Design), the forum will focus on the theme ‘Transforming Mindsets.’ The event will be held in two sessions from 3 p.m. to 8 p.m.

TED is a non-profit forum that began in 1984 and is devoted to Ideas worth Spreading.

Kerala State Higher Education Council Executive Head T.P. Sreenivasan, German social worker and co-founder of Braille Without Borders Sabriye Tenberken, media personality Sashi Kumar, the former Chief Executive Officer of Technopark G. Vijayaraghavan, award-winning film editor Beena Paul and founder-director of the socio-environmental NGO Paperman, Mathew Jose, are among those slated to deliver the TED talk.

“The presence of distinctive speakers at the forum is expected to stimulate thought and conversation and change our perceptions and that of society at large,” said Technopark Chief Executive Officer K.G. Girish Babu.
