💡 Calling All Innovators
Are you creating technology that fosters social inclusion for people with disabilities?
Apply to be an Inclusive Innovator and showcase your work for free at Inclusive Innovations 2026.
We’re looking for innovators developing technology that addresses an accessibility or inclusivity need for people with disabilities. Selected innovators will get the opportunity to demonstrate their working product or prototype to the ININ community, connect with accessibility advocates and experts, meet impact investors and funding experts, and get valuable feedback on their work.
What we're looking for:
Your innovation should have a clear technological component and address an accessibility or inclusivity need. You’ll need a working prototype or product that can be demonstrated in person. We’re looking for real demos, not presentations or pitches.
