Being organised jointly, with CtrlS -AsiaⳠlargest Tier 4 Data center, REX is positioned to become the Asian equivalent of TED and is based on the Eastern Philosophy and indigenous traditional progressive wisdom. REX is partnered by the UN, VSO India, Avesthagen IndiaⳠleading Biotech Company, SOAP and www.iDishoom.com and also supported by Swaransoft, Regional PR, Kyazoonga, BBDO, TiE, Indian Angel Network and Mahindra Spark the Rise.
Elaborating the vision behind REX, Jeroninio Almeida founder & curator of REX and iCONGO༯span>said, 㼢>㙯u can kill, harm, exile, imprison, destroy/ defame a person but not an idea. You can co-opt/ corrupt a person but not an idea that becomes a collective movement & ideology. This collective ideology cannot be killed, harmed, exiled imprisoned destroyed, defamed, co-opted or corrupted. This shall always prevail and stay as an ideology of the people collectively. REX is a simple and austere platform aiming at enabling partnerships between grassroots community, industry workers and people from media, government, businesses and citizens at large to generate ideas for action that can make a difference in our world and bring about a༯span>change for the greater good of humanity.䠁s was said by Gautam Buddha㮠An༢>idea that is developed and put into action is more important than an༢>idea that exists only as an༢>idea and thus REX is based on the Eastern Ethos of creating ideas emerge from nothingness and traditional wisdom based on pure philosophy and the will to make things happen for the benefit of the community and society. I shall be speaking about how citizens can help stop corruption in our country through www.Hallabolo.com which is power in the hands of people to fight corruption and right every wrong.
Highlighting the role of corporate citizen in nurturing ideas to create success stories, P Sridhar Reddy Chairman CtrlS and founder member REX said, び citizens of the world, the crying need of the hour is to marshal our resources to bring about positive change for global good. Collaborating in a truly human manner to impact the world around us and bring about a transformational change for the better, REX serves as a powerful platform to engage people, share ideas, inspire others and drive change. At CtrlS we are proud to be associated with and to share the same passion that REX has been demonstrating towards this profound initiative.”
Present on the occasion, Mr. Marco Carrano, Architect building energy friendly said, 㒅X, through the effort of its devoted members, offers a platform for social motivated ideas to be heard and discussed on the solely reason to create a better society.䠼/i>
び an educator I want young people to believe with passion that none of us is ever powerless. As citizen we can all drop our little pebble in the water so that the ripple we make combines with others to create a wave added Mark Parkinson, educationist & Executive Director & Head of School for Kunskapsskolan Eduventures
