Theme: Limitless

Limitless is the theme of this year’s TEDxHochschuleLuzern event. There’s a quote saying “Limitations only live in our minds. But if we use our imaginations, our possibilities become limitless.” Hence, this event is a call to break out of our habitual thinking, to change our mindsets and to explore new paths in order to overcome boundaries and break limiting barriers. Imagine a world with an infinite number of possibilities and chances. It’s within our reach. Come to our event and get inspired!

Viktor Calabrò

Entrepreneur

As the owner of an event agency, Viktor Calabrò constantly had problems finding qualified help for temporary employment. The search for personnel had to move much quicker, he thought to himself. Equipped with this idea and a degree in business IT, Viktor decided to revolutionize the labour market. With Coople (previously STAFF FINDER), Viktor established the first fully digital temporary employment platform in the world. Today, it can cover 98% of the jobs required in less than four hours. With this invention, he created the first on-demand marketplace for a flexible workforce and shaped the concept of “just-in-time personnel management”. Within just six years, his company has become one of the largest employers in Switzerland with over 130,000 registered employees. Viktor’s passion is changing the way the world works.
