🥋 Upskilling innovations would go a long way in creating sustainable solutions for PWDs. 🧑💻My time as a volunteer research analyst at the Down Syndrome Society of Kenya has been to look for better ways of improving the lives of individuals with Down Syndrome. My discovery so far has been shocking🥲 It is quite alarming how most people are unaware of the condition. ✒️Down syndrome, also known as trisomy 21, is a genetic disorder caused by abnormal cell division that results in an extra full or partial copy of chromosome 21. This additional genetic material leads to developmental changes and characteristic physical features. 💪Every individual with down Syndrome is differently abled. Most of these individuals end up leading tough lives since the society has not really found a suitable way to include them. This adversely affects their social , financial and most importantly their mental wellness. 🩹 Let's discuss innovations that will lead to upskilling. 🩹 Let's create room for PWDs to thrive. #inclusivedesign #inclusivity #community #innovation

Our panelist from THE LIGHT HOUSE 2024, Katy Knight of the Siegel Family Endowment, said it perfectly: The Tech We Want is about hearing from voices that are often excluded from conversations about what the future of technology could and should look like. "We've said many times that tech companies are building solutions in search of problems, or they're building tech that they want to build, but not necessarily the tech we need. So when we think about The Tech We Want and the community that we're seeking to bring into the spaces where technology decisions are being made, it's a really important initiative and community space for us to have voice alongside the industry and all of the kind of powerful tech makers that are already in the conversation."

We recently celebrated Technology Transfer Professionals Day on December 12, commemorating the anniversary of the Bayh-Dole Act. This important day honors the work of tech transfer professionals and highlights how technology transfer offices bring innovations from the lab to the world. A recent video posted by AUTM features GW TCO’s Executive Director, Brian Coblitz, and GW Professor Ekundayo Shittu, who shares his testimony in support of the TCO's work. In the video, Coblitz and Shittu share their thoughts on how the TCO has helped bridge the gap between research and industry, turning groundbreaking ideas into impactful ventures that benefit not only the GW community but society as a whole.

#Throwbacktuesday, last week our Capital Advisory Expert Boris Polm attended the Hello Tomorrow summit in Paris where he exchanged on trending topics in deep tech. The key takeaways? 👇    ➡ Deep tech is the biggest sector for VC investments in Europe, and these numbers are expected to rise fast. ➡The need for a stronger UK-EU collaboration. If the UK cluster (Oxford, Cambridge, London) and Dutch clusters (Eindhoven, Delft) were to optimize their alliance, they could exceed Silicon Valley. ➡VC’s are adapting to longer R&D cycles in deep tech. However smart leveraging of different funding options remain a must.    Want to know more on how these developments might affect your deep tech business? Reach out to Boris Polm. #HelloTomorrow #Deeptech #FundingExpertise #FInstitute
