How do we drive innovation that truly meets the needs of end users and their families? At EACD / IAACD Heidelberg 2025 , European Academy of Childhood-onset Disability (EACD) Technology & Innovation SIG explores these and more in an exciting Panel Discussion. Forum 2 - Hybrid (Congress Center Heidelberg), June 27—17:45–18:40 "Technology and innovation through collaboration: the Quadruple Helix Model approach"Technology and innovation are transforming the everyday life of individuals with lived experience, offering new opportunities for inclusion and meaningful participation. From advanced powered wheelchairs to eye-tracking systems, these assistive devices can unlock greater independence and quality of life. Yet, to ensure that innovations meet genuine needs, collaboration among policymakers, clinicians, researchers, industry, and especially people with lived experience, is essential. This SIG explores how the Quadruple Helix Model encourages cross-sector partnerships, co-design, and sustainable growth in assistive technology.By bringing together diverse perspectives, we will highlight: current challenges and experiences in designing, implementing, and funding assistive technologies; and opportunities for innovation and future perspectives to ensure meaningful societal impact for end users and their families.
