Priority

Solutions in this group are as diverse as the communities they target. Amongst others, they include new life saving technology for earthquake survivors, ecological burial ser-vices, educational tools to preserve languages in danger of disappearing, smart commu-nication and mobility devices for those living with visual or hearing impairment, and more. They are brought together here to highlight a common priority: to actively encour-age inclusivity and value every single individual that makes up our community, whilst ex-panding our possibilities to connect with each other.
