Celebrating 10 years of disability innovation | exhibition, reception & talks

A legacy of the London 2012 Paralympic Games, the Global Disability Innovation Hub (GDI Hub) brought together the experts behind the London games to ask the question ‘what next for disability innovation’. Fast forward to today and the GDI Hub has reached more than 64 million people globally. A world leading Academic Research Centre within University College London (UCL) and a global practice centre, the GDI Hub delivers research, development programme and consultancy across more than 40 countries. To date 10 million people have been supported directly to increase access to Assistive Technology. The annual London Design Festival celebrates and promotes London as a design capital on the global stage. This year, to mark our 10th anniversary, the Global Disability Innovation Hub will host an exhibition, panel and community reception... celebrating 10 years of the Global Disability Innovation Hub: our work, our stories, our community.
