TEDxBucharest 2013 is featuring a selection of leading visionaries, storytellers and achievers. We proudly announce some of the speakers that will inspire us from the TEDxBucharest’s stage:

Karina Hollekim is another great example for all of us. We will witness a speech on determination, passion, sports and hope. Karina is a Norwegian free skier and BASE jumper. She is the the first female athlete to complete a ski BASE. In August 2006 she had a near-fatal crash after her parachute failed during a routine parachuting jump - her legs were fractured in 21 places, but she miraculously recovered and returned to her true passion - skiing.

Simina Tănăsescu will focus on constitutional law and will explain why the so-called legal transplants don’t always work in a local environment.

Paul Radu, a successful investigative journalist, is going along and across the globe in order to find black money trail. Helped by Google and the worls’s most skilled online hackers, he closely follows and identifies transnational organized crimes.

George Popescu is a true inspiration for us in business development and product innovation. Co-founder and Chief Executive Officer of Boston Technologies, his success can be directly attributed to George's ability to engineer creative and robust solutions that cater to the specific needs of banks, brokerages and hedge funds.

Andrei Savescu – CEO at Societatea De Stiinte Juridice (The Society for Legal Sciences) and founder of Juridice.ro will present us his vision on justice and speak about this concept, as seen by Romanians. He promotes the respect for law and hopes that he can put a brick on building a society based on knowledge and integrity.
