About Naoki
Bio
HELLO, I AM NAOKI FUNAHASHI.
I'm passionate about
I am passionate about new technologies, innovations and things in general that make tomorrow better than today.
An idea worth spreading
I believe connecting people one to another is of deep importance, where each person shares his/her stories and ideas. This is when innovations appear and this is when ones see their life differently. I will be there to provide an opportunity that consequently influences our lives and help make tomorrow better than today.
To achieve my passion (provide an opportunity to influence ones' lives), I started being a TED translator in 2010, hosted TEDxMeieki (Nagoya, Japan) in 2013 and now support TEDx communities in Japan.
