Episode Description

Happy Disability Inclusion Month!

This episode brings you Be #PeopleSmart Founder, Jodie Greer chatting with Emmanuella Akinola, Chief Operations Officer at Accesstech Innovation, to bust the myths that:

"Working with disabled people limits opportunities,” and

"The African market for assistive technology is too small for investment."

Hear about how Accesstech Innovation is making a big difference for disabled people in Nigeria and their plans for an Assistive Technology Experience Centre.

Emmanuella shares some statistics on the huge assistive tech market in Africa and why both the technology sector and disabled people are missing out by this not being recognised.

You'll also hear some of Jodie's and Emmanuella's thoughts on how assistive technology can be more accessible for people around the world.

Jodie is now taking a break from the podcast for the summer and will be back in September with more amazing guest speakers. Why not take the time to catch up on any episodes you may have missed?

You can find Jodie and Emmanuella on LinkedIn. Emmanuella is also @inclusiveella on both Instagram and Twitter.
