Technology has the power to reshape global eye health at scale. With 1.1 billion people living with vision impairment, 90% in lowresource settings, rapid innovation is not just important; it is essential. Emerging technologies can reverse the rising tide of avoidable blindness and help reduce the staggering $411 billion in annual productivity losses linked to sight loss. 

At the heart of this transformation is one simple truth: Technology is the catalyst to tackle Reach and Scale, Patient Outcomes and Quality Assurance, Equity and Accessibility, and Sustainability. The opportunity is enormous, and urgent. 

Got an eye health innovation? We want to see it.  

The IAPB Technology for Access Memberled Group is excited to bring the Innovation Showcase to 2030 IN SIGHT LIVE, happening in Nairobi, Kenya.  

This is your opportunity to put your solution in front of global eye health leaders, decision-makers, and potential partners who can help take it to the next level. We’re looking for innovations that break down barriers to eye care and drive real progress, whether you’re still in the early stages or already scaling a proven solution. 

Who can apply?  

Applications are welcome from all technology innovators: IAPB members, Valued Suppliers, and any organisation or individual working in eye health. You can submit up to two applications per organisation. 

Two categories are open: 

  • Early-Stage: concepts, pilots, prototypes, and early clinical technologies 
  • Later-Stage: near-commercial or commercially available solutions with real-world evidence 

The selection criteria are based on the principles of our IAPB Technology for Access framework, so innovations at every stage get a genuine shot. 

Be Part of the Conversation That Moves Our Sector Forward 

If your innovation is selected, at least one representative will need to register and attend 2030 IN SIGHT LIVE in Nairobi (earlybird pricing is available). 

As Co-chairs of the Technology for Access Member-led Work Group, we believe deeply in the power of collaboration and the importance of elevating technology solutions that bring us closer to a world where everyone has access to the eye care they deserve. The Innovation Showcase will serve as an energizing space, where ideas become partnerships, and partnerships become impact. 

We invite you to take part. 

Don’t miss your chance to be part of the conversation shaping the future of eye health.
