Organising a roundtable on "Disability & Innovation" in 4 weeks — is it possible? Absolutely! It would not have been possible without the involvement and enthusiasm of the speakers we reached out to. Within just a few days, they all confirmed their participation: Agefiph, Institut des Jeunes Aveugles (Institute for Young Blind People), Aviséa, Berger Levrault, Facil'iti, and the City of Toulouse.
Innovation & Disability: there is much to say. Much to do. Digital Campus brought together local disability sector players as well as national ones. Matias Estaño expertly facilitated the discussion, continuously bouncing off questions from an audience made up of companies and students in the Master's, intensive Bachelor, and professional training programmes — all captivated throughout the full 2 hours.
Innovation can be technological, social, or organisational, with a firm commitment to providing concrete solutions for people with disabilities or reduced autonomy. The interaction between speakers and the audience continued during the closing cocktail reception.
We warmly thank the speakers and all participants, and we hope to see the same level of enthusiasm at upcoming events at Digital Campus Toulouse.
