DeafTawk is exploring the potential of AI to make communication more accessible for deaf and hard-of-hearing communities.

Its technology focuses on embedding real-time sign language into digital experiences, demonstrating how advances in artificial intelligence can help remove barriers to communication and participation.

Ugani is working to facilitate access to affordable, high-quality prosthetic and orthotic services.

The organisation's work highlights one of the central challenges in Assistive Technology: ensuring that innovation does not stop at the development of a product, but reaches the people and communities who need it.

Deaftronics will showcase its solar-powered hearing aid, designed to provide a more sustainable solution for people living in areas where reliable access to electricity can be limited.

The innovation demonstrates how Assistive Technology can respond to the realities of different environments, infrastructure and communities, while supporting greater access to hearing care.

Sometimes innovation begins with something familiar.

The Accessible Lab Coat is an adaptation of the traditional lab coat, designed to better meet the needs of wheelchair users.

The showcase demonstrates how small but thoughtful changes to everyday products can help remove barriers and make workplaces, laboratories and educational environments more inclusive.

Koalaa is reimagining prosthetics through soft, lightweight and comfortable designs that can be adapted to the individual.

The organisation is working to make prosthetics more accessible and affordable while placing users and their experiences at the centre of the design process. Its approach also explores new ways of fitting and delivering prosthetic services, helping expand access beyond traditional clinical settings.

The Disabled Leaders Network is a member-led global network that champions exceptional disabled talent.

Its work highlights the importance of representation and leadership, creating opportunities for disabled leaders to connect, share experiences and drive change across sectors and communities.

UNICEF's Assistive Technology catalogue helps governments and organisations procure competitively priced Assistive Technology products.

The showcase offers an opportunity to explore how global procurement and partnerships can play a role in improving access to Assistive Technology and ensuring that more people can access the products they need.

The World Health Organization's Learning on TAP is an open-access learning resource designed to support primary health services.

The initiative reflects the importance of building knowledge and capacity alongside the development of new technologies, helping strengthen the systems and people responsible for delivering Assistive Technology.

Evenbreak is a specialist employment platform led by and for disabled people.
