CONNECTED ASIA
About Connected Asia
This is a series of collective ideation with our community. This also includes a series of collaborations with our extended community.
We believe when a community with different perspective and background come together and have an open conversation, it adds depth to the discussion and allow possibilities to surface.

In Conversations With Thought Leaders​ 2018
​
During this year's TEDxNTU event, Women In Asia did a special behind the scenes with TEDxNTU speakers and thought leaders. We explored how they embrace complexity in their fields of work, and how Asia can come together to be Greater than the Sum of its Parts.
​
We hope as a community we can unearth the most groundbreaking ideas- but we can't do it alone. Together, the sum of our efforts is greater than each individual stride. Only together can we galvanize real concrete change and face issues with diverse new perspectives.
