How do companies like SpaceX make sudden breakthroughs on decades-old challenges? Emerging tech expert Antoine Gourévitch explains how deep tech — a new approach to innovation that merges science, engineering and design thinking — is unlocking solutions to problems in space exploration, biology, energy and more. As Gourévitch says: “[deep tech] is changing what was once considered impossible into something actively possible, today.”

The TED Talks channel features the best talks and performances from the TED Conference, where the world’s leading thinkers and doers give the talk of their lives in 18 minutes (or less). Look for talks on Technology, Entertainment and Design — plus science, business, global issues, the arts and more.

    Cooperation is understanding when Man tries to be God that’s when God takes away their gifts. Every man is equal as is the animals we coexist with we are all the same only to live in Harmony.

      That is what the actual white privileged patriarchy looks like. White privilege requires wealth and leadership to really exploit the people.

    SpaceX hasn’t made “sudden breakthroughs”, it’s using the same basic technology we’ve had for over 50 years.

      Also they didnt cut down the costs by a factor of ten. They are hardly cheaper than 50% and they are probably using inflated government contracts to make their service cheaper for the industry, which would be an unfair advantage against the competition

    What is deep tech? It’s a new buzzword that Antoine is trying to popularize in order to promote business interests.

    • Kirstin Strand

      That was my first thought, too. Most on the net today is to geared for someone else’s profit.

    The guy claims he “discovered” the term in a research lab while he actually just put a lot of buzzwords side by side around the term “deep tech”. Nothing actually new, just trying to rebrand the same old design think method of solving problems… Disappointed with TED for posting such a waste of time!!!

    Why dont we just call it industry 4.0 instead of deep tech?

    bilogy can make everything possible. a cell and deep tech partnership iwill change the world for better (vaccine) or worst (virus) based on minds and hand s that use them like nuclear energy or weapons of mass destruction . Antonine explained the stuff beautifully with few examples from his vast travel . kudos. thanks

    This TALK does not encourage contemplation, since all your energy goes into trying to keep track of every word he is saying, because he speaks English with French pronunciation. Quite impossible to listen to.

    • Jeremy Leblanc

      April 9, 2021 at 3:19 am

      I agree. This has to be the worst accent I’ve heard in a while and I’m from a country where English isn’t our first language.

    Frequency and vibration indicate size of atom. Suns rays are so small they mutate RNA within 15 minutes of exposure. As do ultra-violet. Colors signal chemical release and/with holding. Infra- red is a free almost limitless energy force. We should be loyal to it. Infra-red is universally available. If we are to engineer a mechanism which extracts its energy through static via vibrational frequenting- we should look at keeping it simple, by placing and allowing infra-red to penetrate mechanism through sequenced entry paths. Helium is also cool.

    ..could the afore mentioned bacteria not feed off carbon dioxide based plastic? -would this not be the solution to incorporating this bacteria into its living eco-system. ..perhaps on Mars we could keep this idea in mind and derive something from there?

    Don’t we have enough technologies? We need to work on social issues, injustices, inequalities between ALL the people of the world and take in account the nature from which we keep taking resources and throwing our waste back into. There needs to be more of these topics on TED and especially on physical and mental health!

In a part of the United States with more than 17,000 years of human history, cultural preservation advocate Tracie Revis is working to turn the Ocmulgee Mounds into Georgia’s first national park and preserve. This park would be co-managed by the Muscogee (Creek) Nation, bringing the tribal voice back to an area they were forcibly removed from 200 years ago. Revis explores the complex feelings of caring for this land and shows how it’s fostering healing in return.

A Path to Social Safety for Migrant Workers | Ashif Shaikh | TED

Hundreds of millions of migrant workers travel within their countries to seek out means of survival — often leaving behind all they know for months or even years. Many face poverty and exploitation, and they need a robust social safety net to protect them, says migrant advocate and 2023 Audacious Project grantee Ashif Shaikh. He shares how his grassroots organization Migrants Resilience Collaborative is making life-changing benefits like social security and health care accessible to those who need them while also amplifying migrant voices — paving the way towards a world that supports the workers actually building it. (This ambitious idea is a part of the Audacious Project, TED’s initiative to inspire and fund global change.)
