Description
Disability currently affects 17% of the French population and nearly 30% when caregivers are included. In a context of rapidly aging demographics, this number is set to grow significantly. This is therefore not a niche market, but a major societal challenge.
At a time when generative AI, immersive technologies, robotics, and intelligent interfaces are reshaping every sector, a revolution is underway to transform accessibility, inclusion, and autonomy.
What technological breakthroughs will redefine the handitech sector? How can startups, large corporations, and investors seize the opportunities of a market that will soon impact one in three people in France?
This roundtable will show how AI and disruptive technologies are redefining the boundaries of accessibility, turning a societal challenge into fertile ground for innovation.
