Join the new TLA Tech for disAbility Group to hear how accessibility and disability tech start-ups are improving the lives of disabled people and helping drive economic growth.

About this Event

Use of technology is an increasing part of everyone’s lives, but can leave people behind. More awareness is needed on how technology can improve lives of people with disabilities.

Tech for disAbility showcases the value of accessibility and disability tech start-ups in improving the lives of disabled people and advocates for the tech industry to consider and embed universal accessibility in all their products.

We do this by connecting the technology and disability communities on the intersection of:

user needs

technology innovation

necessity for accessible tech

We also want to ensure all tech start-ups include accessibility.

Who is this event for?

• Tech startups developing products to benefit disability
• Other tech startups who want to make their products accessible to all
• Investors in disability technology
