We bring effective solutions to market by testing new mechanisms and ambitious scaling pathways for growth-ready accessible and assistive technology ventures. From incubating future tech inspired solutions to delivering ecosystem interventions - we strengthen systems to make inclusion a reality and embed disability innovation into national policy landscapes. Generating new evidence and insights, we stimulate demand, deliver country pilots and create enabling markets environment for AT in Low-and Middle- Income Countries. 

Harnessing the power of AI the centre develops inclusive solutions for people with communication difficulties. With support from Google.org, we are collecting impaired and non-standard speech for languages across Africa, South America and Europe for the first time. Currently Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) technology is not available to those who would most benefit: non-English-speaking populations in low- middle- income countries, who often have the least access to AT and speech and language therapy. Our open source data sets will change this.
