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

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.
