Request Details About This Speaker

    Tan Le is a Vietnamese refugee who has made her own way in the world. Without any apologies. She is, today, the founder and CEO of EMOTIV, a bioinformatics firm that has seen her groundbreaking work in the field of technology and artificial intelligence result in the development of electronic devices that operate by means of the merest thought. Her company’s vision is to revolutionise human-computer input by creating technology that spans numerous technologies, including television, your everyday computer interactions, medicine, market research, robotics, transport, defense, and security. With over 90 footprints in countries worldwide, Tan Le and her company are the undisputed global leaders in their field.

    Little did the 4-year who fled from war-torn Vietnam, who made her way to safety on an overcrowded tugboat with a vial of poison kept on hand to commit suicide in case of a pirate attack, think she would one day be the founder of her own successful company.

    Despite the poverty encountered in a new country, the studious Tan applied herself to her studies, gaining entrance to Monash University, and with it, a reputation that led to the prestigious “Young Australian of the Year” award.

    Tan Le started her career as a social advocate, while at the same time starting a number of entrepreneurial ventures in the field of neural-engineering. Her driving force was to understand the brain and how it affects our life experiences. In this regard, her company’s EEG headset has made huge inroads into medical aspects such as Alzheimer’s schizophrenia, epilepsy, Parkinson’s, ADHD, and other mental conditions.

    Tan Le’s work led to her named a National Geographic Emerging Explorer in 2013. She is also the recipient of numerous awards and accolades. The most recent of these include the G’Day USA Global Innovation Award in 2014, the Advance Global Australian Award for ICT in 2012, the AutoVision Innovations Award, and the Monash University Distinguished Alumni Award in 2011.

    She has featured in the Who’s Who in Australia list, Fast Company’s Most Influential Women in Technology, and Forbes’ 50 Names You Need to Know. Tan has also been an Ambassador for the Status of Women since 2001.
