In 2020, we launched the GSMA Innovation Fund for Assistive Tech to support innovative start-ups and micro-, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) across Africa and Asia to address the diverse needs of persons with disabilities and tackle one or more of the key barriers preventing them from accessing and using mobile internet.

In this report, we share insights from the implementation of the Fund, highlighting important lessons for AT start-ups and other ecosystem stakeholders about how digital innovations can influence how persons with disabilities use mobile internet and drive inclusion more broadly.
