The MaRS and CIBC Inclusive Design Challenge aims to address the most pressing employment barriers faced by people with disabilities in Canada. Run through a series of four crowdsourced competitions, the challenge invites change-makers (members of the disability and innovation communities) to propose and develop solutions to these barriers.
The final innovation challenge seeks solutions to emerging areas of opportunity in the future of work for people with disabilities.
