  • The Inclusion Fellows (TIF) for 2023. It is the 7th cohort of fellowships. The Inclusion Fellowship started in 2016 and the goal was based on the following insights:
  • 1. Support entrepreneurs who are solving a problem in the disability space
  • 2. Persons with Disabilities (PwD) comprise 15% of the world's population and they deserve access to affordable solutions
  • 3. True change can happen only when the PwD community works together and has a voice of its own.
  • 4. A good solution will follow the principles of universal design and will be useful for everyone (and not just PwD’s)
  • 5. An entrepreneur's journey needs constant support and guidance, and the goal of the fellowship is to provide mentorship during the journey.
