Inaugurated on December 3, 2024, the Campus Louis Braille marks an important step towards the autonomy of visually impaired people. Dedicated to fundamental research, technological innovation and training, it aims to be a driving force in France, as well as on an international scale.

Inspired by the legacy of Louis Braille, inventor of the famous eponymous tactile code, this campus, located in the heart of the Duroc district in Paris, aims to become a place where start-ups, researchers, students and people concerned by visual impairment work together to develop concrete solutions that promote autonomy and improve the daily lives of visually impaired or blind people.

So that tomorrow, crossing a street by spotting crosswalks, or being able to use all applications without sight, become a reality.
