Enable Makeathon 2.0

Can Innovation be Inclusive?

The Enable Makeathon 2.0 is an intensive innovation programme that takes place from November 2017 to January 2018. We crowdsource ideas related to the key issues of accessibility and employability of persons with disabilities.

The ultimate goal is to slingshot ideas, from ideation to action in a span of 90 days. With a focus on innovation for and by persons with disabilities, the Enable Makeathon carries innovative ideas through the innovation chain: from ideation to co-creation, refinement to testing and incubation. We aim to facilitate the exchange among innovators to foster and enable innovative thinking across a broad range of disciplines to build new solutions. Teams are accompanied at each stage, with winning teams awarded and assited to translate ideas into action. At the end of the 90 days, 3 winners will be awarded the Enable Makeathon prize to build and scale up their ideas.

Enable Makeathon co-creation camps will take place in two simultaneous locations; Bengaluru, India hosted by the ICRC and London, UK hosted by the Global Disability Innovation Hub and University College London.
