Webinar on assistive technology and international trade

Join us as we launch the technical report on assistive technology and international trade.

The session will present first-of-its-kind data and analysis on global trade in assistive technology, highlighting current trends, key challenges, and policy recommendations. The event is a collaboration between ATscale, the European Union, and the Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine Institute of the University of Sao Paulo Medical School General Hospital.

An exciting peer learning opportunity for policymakers, government representatives, private sector partners, development organizations and academics from around the world, the webinar will explore insights from selected African countries and discuss the implications for improving access to assistive technology worldwide.

This session is part of ATscale’s discussion series on market shaping in the assistive technology sector.

To accommodate global participants across different time zones, the webinar will be hosted twice and will be openly accessible to the public and available in English, French, Spanish, and Portuguese with live captioning.
