What if building intelligent systems and innovations was as easy as drawing connections on a computer screen? If stable building blocks could be linked to create dynamic new functions and systems? Joachim Horn has made this possible. His toolkit puts the brainpower and experience of engineers in the hands of anyone interested in experimenting with new ideas and inventions. He enables anyone with imagination to go from idea to prototype almost instantly, significantly speeding up the traditionally slow development process.

TED@BCG was a TED-curated event featuring a diverse group of speakers from across the BCG community. Jointly produced by TED and BCG, the event put a spotlight on ideas, projects and insights that will contribute to the pursuit of growing ever onward and upward.

About the TED Institute: We know that innovative ideas and fresh approaches to challenging problems can be discovered inside visionary companies around the world. The TED Institute helps surface and share these insights. Every year, TED works with a group of select companies and foundations to identify internal ideators, inventors, connectors, and creators. Drawing on the same rigorous regimen that has prepared speakers for the TED main stage, TED Institute works closely with each partner, overseeing curation and providing intensive one-on-one talk development to sharpen and fine tune ideas.
