In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized (subject to certain rules and regulations).

In search of his ideal coffee bean, Chen has traveled to Asia, Africa, Central and South America. He first set foot in Yunnan, China's coffee producing region, in 2014. In fact, Yunnan beans were the least liked in most domestic cafes, but he stayed there for eight years. During this period, it not only helped more than 40 farmers' professional cooperatives and thousands of coffee growers to sell thousands of tons of coffee beans, but also led local Yunnan growers to successfully transform from the traditional commercial coffee bean cultivation mode to the fine coffee cultivation through the introduction of technology. The value of Yunnan beans continued to improve, and at the same time, it also found the real coffee taste of China. Now, he has founded his own NGO, YSCC Yunnan Specialty Coffee Community, which is dedicated to spreading more knowledge about Yunnan coffee from various aspects of historical development, education and sustainable development, and bringing coffee to millions of Chinese people.

HAIBIN WANG

CEO of Starlogos Intelligent Technology. Drones are no stranger to us, but are they truly unmanned? It is obvious that the UAV is not truly unmanned, and its control always requires a "pilot" on the ground. Traditional UAV relies on manual operation and has low efficiency. How to break this traditional UAV inspection mode and give its intelligent brain a true "unmanned" is the problem Wang Haibin and his team are dedicated to solving. In 2016, they released the world's first drone charging hangar, which provides automatic flight, scheduling, charging and intelligent identification and detection services for drones. In 2017, it took the lead in applying UAV hangars to smart city management, realizing the world's largest urban hangar scheduling application. With the wide application of artificial intelligence, Wang Haibin and his team developed functions such as human vehicle flow AI recognition and cyanobacteria detection AI recognition by relying on drones and artificial intelligence algorithms, and successfully implemented the deployment of 100 unmanned aerial vehicle automation systems nationwide. This sky dreamer is constantly changing and innovating, step by step, letting us see more possibilities in the future.
