TEDx Coolhaven Women Ideas Shape The Future
Born in Rotterdam – a world port where people, cultures and ideas have always connected – TEDx Coolhaven Women is a growing community for curious minds who want to explore, challenge and help shape what comes next.
Through TEDx talks, shared experiences and meaningful connections, we bring together perspectives across generations, backgrounds and borders – increasingly connecting our local roots with a global, digital community.
The New Builders – 9 October 2026
This year, TEDx Coolhaven Women asks a simple but important question: what are we building next – and who gets to shape it?
The New Builders brings together ideas about how we work, lead, care, connect, invest and create the systems and foundations that will shape the future. From technology and health to relationships, entrepreneurship and human potential, the evening explores not only how the world is changing, but what we choose to build within it.
Since our first edition in 2024, Coolhaven has explored a continuing journey: from resilience and renewal, to finding balance, redefining leadership, and now building what comes next.
What began as a locally rooted TEDxWomen initiative is growing into something broader: an increasingly international and digitally connected haven for ideas, learning and human connection.
Locally rooted. Digitally connected. Increasingly global.
