Reflections on our new strategy

I’m delighted to present here GDI Hub’s Disability Innovation Strategy 2025 – 2030. This provides a high-level overview of our strategic ambitions for the next 5 years that build on an incredible period of growth and achievement for the organisation.

Everyone at GDI Hub is passionate about what we do and this comes across in both our plans for the next five years and in what we’ve achieved to date. Diverse partnerships and collaborations remain core to what we do as is being disruptive in positive ways, doing things differently, learning as we go and driving towards our mission to accelerate ideas into impact for a more just world for disabled people and all people.

Our six strategic goals give a clear picture of our priority areas, building on what we’ve learned to date and branching into new and exciting areas, including Artificial Intelligence (AI) as AT, Gender and Disability, Inclusive and Climate Resilient Cities and Local Production. Our strategy also sets out GDI Hub’s offer to the market which remains innovative, multi-disciplinary and impactful.

I hope you enjoy reading the strategy and do get in touch with us should you need it in alternative formats or to find out more.
