"In Australia, the federal government currently commits around about a $100 billion per year to disability and aging. And we know that we're only just scratching the surface of what is way in excess of a $13 trillion global opportunity around innovation in this space,"
"We really do believe that with Australia's world leading research design capability, and lived experience in leadership, we have the chance to make the disability sector the next wave of innovative industry that flourishes right here in Australia but also in other pockets around the world as well."
"From making brain-computer interfaces affordable to enabling people with low vision to follow live sports."
Remarkable staged the 2025 Disability Tech Summit at Sydney Town Hall to showcase disability-focused innovation. The organisation began in 2016 as an initiative of the Cerebral Palsy Alliance and now runs two annual accelerator programs: one for US-based startups and another for Australian and international startups. Australia allocates about $100 billion per year to disability and aging, while the global innovation opportunity in the sector exceeds $13 trillion. Startups at the summit presented solutions ranging from accessible personal-care tools to affordable brain-computer interfaces and technologies that help people with low vision follow live sports.
