Sharing progress and innovative projects

During her visit, the Minister discovered the projects of three committed start-ups incubated at the Louis Braille Campus:

  • Feelobject: innovative solutions for tactile accessibility
  • Artha: neurotactile innovations for greater autonomy
  • Ezymob: urban guidance and transport for the visually impaired

These meetings highlighted the Campus' potential to foster the emergence of technologies that are accessible and useful in everyday life.

Discover the Campus sites

The Minister also visited two of the Campus's four sites:

  • Voir Ensemble, dedicated to research and innovation for the visually impaired
  • Institut National des Jeunes Aveugles (INJA-Louis Braille), a historic center for training and support

These visits enabled us to observe first-hand the impact of our initiatives in the field.

Concrete prospects for strengthening inclusive innovation

During the discussions, several areas of development were discussed:

  1. Have the Campus recognized as a place of innovation by the French Ministry of Higher Education and Research.
  2. Develop scholarships for students with visual impairments.
  3. Lay the foundations for a center to evaluate accessibility solutions, supported by the CNSA.

These measures are designed to consolidate the Campus dynamic and create an ecosystem conducive to sustainable and inclusive innovation.

A collective dynamic praised

The Minister praised the collective mobilization of the partners, and reiterated the importance of coordinating efforts with the départements, MDPHs and CNSA to transform society through inclusive innovation.
