The Zero Project Technology Forum (Tech Forum) provides a platform where highly innovative technology-based solutions—AT Innovations—that drive accessibility and disability inclusion are connected to potential Support Partners.

The Zero Project aims to bring the Tech Forum to different world regions through long-term collaborations with trusted partners, building on each organization’s respective mission, strengths, and existing activities.

From participants:

"We developed some connections, exchanged information, and, more importantly, it empowered our confidence to continue this journey."

“We learned about some potentially interesting technologies that make sense in our offerings.”

"An amazing, positive, and vibrant event. We were lucky to be invited. "

The Zero Project Technology Forum Vienna was established in 2023 and is held annually on the day prior to the Zero Project Conference. It is organized as an in-person, half-day event funded by external partners.  

High-quality pitches are presented on a professional stage in an accessible setting, followed by a series of brief one-to-one meetings coordinated ahead of the event.

Drawing on the effective format and methodology of the Tech Forum Vienna, the Zero Project is currently building strategic partnerships to organize regional events. These are connected to the "global" forum in Vienna as well as to other regional editions.

To date, regional Tech Forums have been held in Bangalore and Singapore. Locations are selected based on the relevance of the local tech scene and the opportunity to align with an international conference.
