Ideation Workshops
People with disabilities meet people who are interested in finding innovative ideas together.
The Innovation Booster Technology and Special Needs offers workshops to help identify innovative ideas.
In this workshop, people concerned by disability meet people interested in the topic. On the basis of the needs identified in the first phase, these people imagine innovative solutions. These concrete innovation ideas can be submitted to the Innovation Booster and give rise to real projects.
Participation in these workshops is free of charge.
All concerned and interested persons are invited to participate in these workshops. Please find below the dates and locations of the next workshops.

The three needs that will be presented at the workshop:
Home: People with visual impairment want to be able to use all household appliances independently.
- Tactile appliances without physical controls are difficult or impossible for visually impaired or blind people to use.
- Electronic displays are also sometimes difficult to read for visually impaired people, as the contrast is not good and blind people cannot see them anyway.
Autonomy, mobility: Visually impaired people want to be able to orientate themselves independently and use buses and trams in any city.
- Numbers on buses/trams or other public transport are often not very visible for visually impaired people.
- Each city or region has its own public transport system, which operates differently: signage, numbering, announcements, timetables, etc.
Leisure, gaming: Visually impaired people want to enjoy their hobbies and play computer games autonomously.
- Navigating computer games is one of the main difficulties for visually impaired people.
