Canadian Disability Tech Consortium

The Canadian Disability Tech Consortium (CDTC) is a coalition of organizations supporting startups across disability, aging, and rehabilitation. The Consortium brings together key Canadian organizations to share resources, provide insights, and strengthen collaboration across Canada’s disability innovation ecosystem.

Canada has a growing number of organizations supporting startups in areas such as mobility, aging, cognition, vision, rehabilitation, and related fields. But too often, these efforts happen in parallel.

The Canadian Disability Tech Consortium is a national coalition convened by Access to Success to strengthen collaborative innovation across disability, aging, and rehabilitation sectors. Through shared insights, stronger connections, and ecosystem-wide initiatives, we are helping build a more connected path to scale for disability innovation in Canada.

The Accessibility Innovation Exchange (AIX) brings startups, funders, researchers, and ecosystem partners together with many of Canada’s leading disability innovation organizations in one room.

Hosted by Access to Success as part of the Canadian Disability Tech Consortium, AIX is designed to help people make real connections across the ecosystem faster, with reverse pitches, practical insights, and direct access to the organizations shaping disability, aging, and rehabilitation innovation in Canada.

For startups and partners, AIX is a chance to meet the major players, understand where opportunities exist, and build relationships that can lead to funding, support, partnerships, and growth.
