Join us for the Accessibility Innovation Exchange (AIX) 2026 at the KITE Research Institute in Toronto, where the future of accessibility, disability tech, and inclusive innovation comes together.
Across Canada, some of the most influential organizations are funding and accelerating disability innovation, each focused on different sectors and stages of growth.
These organizations are rarely all accessible in one space. AIX brings together Ontario Brain Institute, Centre for Aging + Brain Health Innovation, MaRS, UHN, KITE Research Institute, Praxis Spinal Cord Institute, CNIB, envisAGE, and AGEWELL (organizations subject to be confirmed), giving you a unique chance to understand how the ecosystem works, where you fit, and how to unlock multiple pathways for collaboration and scale.
Why attend?
Canada has world-class accessibility innovation, but it is often siloed across sectors and regions. This event brings those pieces together, creating space for cross-pollination, collaboration, and faster scaling of impactful solutions.
What you’ll experience:
Insights from accessibility focused founders and industry leaders
The latest trends in disability tech, inclusive design, and innovation in Canada

If you are a startup, this is your opportunity to explore how to grow and scale your solution in Canada and gain visibility in a rapidly expanding market.
