TED Fellows Program
The TED Fellows program provides transformational support to a global community of over 500 remarkable individuals who are collaborating across disciplines to spark future-shaping change around the world.
The TED Fellows program is thrilled to announce the 2022 cohort of TED Fellows, whose work spans five continents and represents 14 countries -- including, for the first time, Angola, Ethiopia, and South Sudan. Each TED Fellow was selected for their remarkable achievements, the potential impact of their work and their commitment to community building.
What shapes the future? That’s the question at the heart of “Shape Your Future” -- a groundbreaking selection of new talks from the TED Fellows. These talks are snapshots of influential, new ideas from leading voices in medicine, human rights, conservation, astrophysics, education and beyond. Dive in to discover what (and who) is shaping your future.
