Overview

As technology reshapes our world, how do we build an inclusive future that is both technologically advanced and deeply equitable, sustainable and humane?

The 2026 No Limits International Symposium "The Way Forward: A Humanistic–Tech Framework for Inclusive Innovation" brings together leading regional and international experts and practitioners from the arts, technology, urban planning, healthcare and community advocacy to address this central question and define a new framework for inclusive innovation – an ecosystem where creative, functional low-tech solutions can flourish alongside high-end technology.

During the symposium, speakers will examine tools and systems across three interconnected landscapes: the creative context, where innovation democratises expression and breaks down barriers in the art-making industry; the urban context, where sensory design reimagines our cities as truly welcoming spaces for all; and the social context, where collaborative co-creation with disabled individuals leads to technology that amplifies community empowerment.

Our collective mission is to forge practical, tangible and sustainable paths toward a shared future that is inclusive for all.
