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.
