AT2030 Frontiers Tech follow-up event.
This event provides an opportunity for reflection, learning and connection within the Frontiers community and the wider assistive technology (AT) ecosystem. Bringing together teams leading Frontiers seed-funded projects, alongside policymakers, researchers, practitioners, funders and development partners, it will explore project achievements, strengthen partnerships, and identify pathways towards sustainable impact and scale.
Day one, on 2 November, will focus on Frontiers seed-funded projects, creating space for awardees to share progress, reflect on their implementation experiences, and explore common challenges, lessons and opportunities across the portfolio. The agenda has been led by the Royal Academy of Engineering team.
Day two, on 3 November, will expand the conversation to a wider group of ecosystem stakeholders, including policymakers, practitioners, researchers and innovation partners. Building on themes emerging from day one, discussions will explore ecosystem development, pathways to scale, and opportunities to strengthen the assistive technology landscape in Nepal and beyond. The agenda has been led by the GDI Hub team.
About us and the partnership
The Academy and the Frontiers programme The UK’s Royal Academy of Engineering creates and leads a community of outstanding experts and innovators to engineer better lives. As a charity and a Fellowship, we deliver public benefit from excellence in engineering and technology and convene leading businesspeople, entrepreneurs, innovators and academics across engineering and technology. As a National Academy, we provide leadership for engineering and technology, and independent, expert advice to policymakers in the UK and beyond.
The Frontiers programme supports innovators to address complex sustainable development challenges through international collaboration, engineering and technology. By combining expert convening, interdisciplinary exchange, seed funding and peer learning, Frontiers helps transform promising ideas into practical solutions, while strengthening the networks and partnerships needed to create sustainable impact.
AT2030
The AT2030 programme tests ‘what works’ to improve access to life-changing Assistive Technology (AT) for all. Led by Global Disability Innovation Hub (GDI Hub) and funded by UK International Development, we've reached 64 million people across 61 countries, driving a lifetime of potential. Global Disability Innovation Hub (GDI Hub) accelerates ideas into impact for a more just world - for disabled people, and all people. Their vision is for disability inclusion and social justice. They work towards a world without barriers to participation, where everyone has the opportunity to live a joyful life.
