Nesta is working with the Office for Disability Issues, Innovate UK, Business Innovation and Skills and Irwin Mitchell to champion the issue of assistive technology through the Inclusive Technology Prize
They are looking for ideas for products, technologies and systems that enable disabled people, their families, friends and carers equal access to life’s opportunities. Innovations must involve co-creation with disabled people and can relate to any aspect of life including, but not limited to, education, home, leisure, transport and work.
This competition has several stages and entrants will be whittled down to 25 semi-finalists who will each receive mentoring and support, followed by a final ten who will develop prototypes ready for impact testing. The winner of the £50,000 contract will be announced in March 2016.
