Vinay Venkatraman, co-founder of the Copenaghen Institute of Interaction Design, presents for the first time the results of CIID's research on frugal digital, and how innovation spreads in the poor but ingenious conditions of India or Africa, and  portraits a new kind of entrepreneur, quite distant from the Silicon Valley model. Vinay also explains how he was able to trasform these learnings in a very very frugal way of creating a digital experience in classrooms. Very inspiring talk.  In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
