#tedxrub2019 #embracetheunexpected #startupmindset

Philipp von der Wippel underlines the importance of embracing constant uncertainty and applying a startup mindset to the biggest social and ecological challenges of our time. Based on the great success of ProjectTogether – a social impact incubator based in Germany – Philipp draws the big picture of how a new generation of entrepreneurs really can redefine public policy making and how a shift of values makes it profitable for businesses to integrate social innovation into their core strategy.

Philipp von der Wippel is co-founder and managing director of the social enterprise ProjectTogether, which he launched at the age of 16.

TEDx RuhrUniversityBochum was started in 2016 by a group of students enthusiastic about bringing the TEDx format to the Ruhr Area. In May 2019, we turned our TEDx conference into one of the largest TEDx events in Europe organized by students. We connected over 1,000 people at our TEDx event and brought 13 speakers to Bochum who presented their ideas and visions regarding the motto "Embrace the Unexpected".

"Embrace the unexpected" is not just a theme, it is an attitude.
It is to look courageously and curiously towards the future and confidently embrace the manifold challenges of our time. To understand the new and unexpected as a learning opportunity for progress and not as a source of uncertainty. Such an attitude is needed in a rapidly changing world, now more than ever.
