The Untapped Trillion: Investing in Disability Innovation

---

Dear IFB Global Family,

On December 16, 2025 at 09:00 a.m. EST-New York, we are hosting an inspiring global virtual session: A Billion Customers, Untapped: Investing in Disability and Assistive Tech Innovation. Over 1.3 billion people worldwide, 90% in emerging countries, live with some form of disability—representing a market larger than China, yet historically overlooked by investors. While this large and growing consumer base shapes trillions of dollars in annual spending power, less than 1% of global health and technology investment targets their needs. This session makes the case for disability innovation as one of the most powerful and profitable frontiers of inclusive growth, showcasing how investors can unlock new value by backing assistive and accessible technologies.

Core Themes & Questions:

• Why is disability one of the largest untapped global consumer and innovation markets?

• What scalable investment and business models are emerging in assistive and disability technology?

• How are macro trends like aging populations, digital inclusion, and growing health access driving demand?

• What enabling factors (policy, finance, consumer dynamics) are aligning to make this sector investable now?

• Where can investors expect both measurable impact and attractive financial returns?

Who Should Attend:

Impact and commercial investors, venture funds, family offices, corporates, and philanthropies seeking to understand and engage with the rapidly growing assistive and disability innovation sector, learning from peers, exploring co-investment opportunities, and identifying emerging models of inclusive innovation with strong return potential.

Takeaways:

• Clear understanding of the trillion-dollar market opportunity in disability and assistive technology.

• Practical insight into fund models, investable ventures, and financing pathways.

• Actionable opportunities for collaboration, portfolio diversification, and leadership in a nascent but high-growth sector.
