About InIn 25

Europe is at a crossroads. With a rapidly shrinking workforce, rising costs of living, and an urgent demand for inclusive economic growth, we must ask ourselves: Can we afford to keep excluding over 100 million people from the European labour market, when there is an opportunity for them to contribute €300 billion annually to the economy?

This year, Inclusive Innovations 2025 confronts one of the most pressing and overlooked challenges of our time — access to work for persons with disabilities. From AI-powered tools to wearable assistive technologies, the solutions exist. What we need now is alignment: across policy, investment, innovation, and lived experience.

When: November 11th 2025
‍
‍Where: CIC, Rotterdam
‍
‍What: A high-impact afternoon spotlighting groundbreaking assistive technologies that are reshaping how, where, and by whom work gets done. This is more than a showcase — it’s a call to action.

An audience seated in a brightly lit room watches a presentation. Three speakers stand at the front under circular string lights. Two of the speakers, one in a navy jacket and the other in a green patterned shirt and sunglasses, exchange a high-five while holding microphones. A screen behind them displays a presentation, and a banner nearby reads "Inclusive Innovations." Additional text is visible on a screen to the right, and potted plants decorate the space. A woman wearing glasses, a white shirt, and a dark blazer smiles while conversing with a man in a white shirt, who is partially visible in the foreground. The interaction takes place in front of a bulletin board displaying various printed materials, including charts, graphics, and articles. A table in front of the board holds papers, a white paper cup, and other small items. The wall behind the board is dark wood-paneled. A man wearing a white t-shirt and a headset microphone stands in a presentation setting, holding a black ergonomic object in his hands. Behind him, a large screen displays a minimalist logo with abstract shapes and the text "Innovators" in yellow at the top. To the left, part of a banner with the words "Innovative Solutions" is visible. A group of people gathered in a well-lit indoor space. In the foreground, a woman wearing a patterned black top with animal prints is seen from behind, facing another woman who is smiling and holding a white cane. The smiling woman wears a brown turtleneck sweater and a green cardigan. Other individuals are visible in the background, standing and conversing near modern light fixtures and glass walls. Two men having a conversation in front of a vibrant green wall decorated with large monstera leaves and ferns. The man on the left, wearing a black t-shirt, holds a black cylindrical object and looks attentively at the other man. The man on the right, dressed in a gray sweater with a tactile device hanging from his shoulders, is smiling and holding a white cane. In the background, there is text on the wall partially visible, clothing racks, and soft lighting. A man wearing a navy sweater holds up his hand in front of another man, who is wearing a teal t-shirt and augmented reality glasses connected to a device. The interaction takes place in a modern indoor space with other people visible in the background, some engaged in conversation. Overhead, industrial-style pendant lights and a wooden ceiling structure are seen.
