Making the World Accessible
The hard truth is no matter how many ramps and elevators we build, we will never make the world fully wheelchair and walker accessible.
However, with bionics, we can make people with disabilities fully accessible to the world.
As a nonprofit, our programming is provided free of charge to bionics startups. Therefore, we rely on donations for our continued growth and development and would be grateful for your support.

Background
There are an estimated 100 million people around the world living with lower-limb disability. Disease, spinal cord injury, amputation, stroke, and aging are just a few of the contributing factors to this broad and diverse population. Yet innovation for people with physical disabilities lags well behind advances in other industries.
Why? University labs are often more focused on research rather than solution development and delivery, and the few big companies in this space are generally slow and risk averse, meaning that real groundbreaking innovation often takes decades to come to market. And if innovation isn’t coming to market, it’s not helping those in need.
That’s why supporting entrepreneurship in bionics is so important. In fact, with the right investments in technology and business, we can create a groundswell of innovation that enables freedom of mobility for all, while also generating meaningful returns for investors and sustainable improvements for generations to come. Whether a child, a wounded veteran, or an elderly loved one, let’s create a future where everyone lives with the same independence that so many of us take for granted.
