One in five Australians are living with a disability – and the increased popularity of the global assistive technology market continues to rise with an estimated worth of US$31.5 billion by 2027.
Crunchbase news reported that VC investment in startups building assistive technologies and treatments for disabilities grew by 133 percent between 2012 and 2017 and the number of VC deals grew by 87 percent.
The World Health Organisation also mentions the global need for access to low cost assistive technologies. Currently only around 10% of the 1 billion people who need assistive technologies have access to them. The number of people who require assistive technologies is set to grow to 2 billion people by the year 2030.
Currently with the convergence of increasing tech innovation, consumer power of people with disability and supply of conscious capital, now is the time to support innovation that harnesses emergent technologies for inclusion of people with disability.
