Your non-tech background: a secret superpower tech needs | Emilie Allaert | TEDxLuxembourgCitySalon

In this talk, Emilie Allaert challenges the myth that tech is only for a specific type of person, sharing her own non‑linear journey from finance to blockchain and digital assets. She explains how technology like blockchain, data and AI shapes society and why diversity of backgrounds and thinking is essential to building fair, trustworthy systems. This is an inspiring invitation to see “different” as a strength and to claim your place in shaping the future of tech. Emilie Allaert is passionate about innovation, with a specific focus on DLT and tokenisation, domains in which she is recognised by her peers. She contributes actively to Luxembourg’s DLT ecosystem, advises on digital transformation, and lectures on digital assets, regulation, and technology adoption. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
