On December 3, to mark the International Day of Persons with Disabilities, the Louis Braille Campus officially opened its doors in the Duroc neighborhood of Paris, marking a major milestone in inclusion and innovation for the blind and visually impaired.
This new space, designed as a hub for learning and accessibility, will bring together, starting in January, startups, cutting-edge technologies, and services dedicated to promoting independence for people with visual impairments.
The Louis Braille Campus is designed to serve as a hub for a variety of disciplines—including artificial intelligence, medicine, science, engineering, and research—thereby fostering interdisciplinary collaboration that leads to innovative solutions.
Following the launch of the Campus, and after receiving 25 applications, 10 organizations were selected to join the incubator starting in January 2025 and benefit from the support of the Louis Braille Campus:
AlterMassage provides training for a variety of professions, including ergonomic massage, health prevention, sales, and business management.
