TEDx events first came to Palestine in 2011 with TEDxRamallah in the West Bank and then TEDxShujaiya followed in the Gaza Strip in 2015.

TEDx events are an offshoot of the US nonprofit TED Talks. TED, which stands for Technology, Entertainment and Design, has promoted “Ideas Worth Spreading” since 1984. In the 18-minute talks, the speakers present innovative ideas.
