1. Eureka Park Accessibility Contest Winners for CES 2025

We are thrilled to announce the CTA Foundation’s 2025 Eureka Park Accessibility Contest Winners!

This year, we are proud to support five incredible organizations that are using technology to improve the lives of older adults and people with disabilities. Our 2025 winners include Blueberry Technology, Lotus , Makesense Technology, Sign Speak, and Soliddd.

We are looking forward to seeing these startups’ innovations on the Eureka Park show floor at CES 2025 in Las Vegas, Nevada, this January.

2. CTA Foundation Accessibility Roundtable in Washington, D.C.

On October 1st, the CTA Foundation hosted an Accessibility Roundtable at Verizon’s Technology and Policy Center in Washington, D.C., to mark the start of Disability Employment Month.

The event featured insights from Assistant Secretary Taryn Williams and a panel of CTA Foundation and Mitsubishi Electric America Foundation grant recipients, discussing the future of accessibility in technology.

Thanks to our sponsors—Verizon, Mitsubishi Electric America Foundation, and Brunswick Corporation—and to everyone who attended and contributed to the conversation.

3. Save the date for #GivingTuesday on December 3rd

The CTA Foundation is once again asking the consumer technology community to help us turn the global day of generosity, #GivingTuesday, into a day that showcases technology’s ability to impact lives – making the day #GivingTechday.

Leading up to Giving Tuesday, share with us your story of how #TechGives. You will inspire others within our community by sharing your story on our social media channels (Facebook, X). Technology can make the world more accessible for all.
On Giving Tuesday, you can make it #GivingTechday with a donation to the CTA Foundation. CTA generously supports 100% of the Foundation’s overhead and administration costs. So, donations like yours 100% support our efforts to find and provide resources to nonprofits who can leverage technology to improve the lives of seniors and people with disabilities.

What’s next: Watch your inbox and our social media feeds for more as we get closer to December 3rd. If you would like to get more involved in #GivingTechday, contact Steve Ewell at sewell@ctafoundation.tech.

4. DEADLINE APPROACHING: Apply for the NEW Health Innovation Challenge

The CTA Foundation Health Innovation Challenge, thanks to a seed grant from the WITH Foundation, asks consumer technology companies to leverage their products to solve challenges faced by those with intellectual or developmental disabilities (IDD) in accessing digital health care.

The challenge will conclude with an onsite event at CES 2025 in Las Vegas, Nevada and the Grand Prize winner will receive a $25,000 cash prize, while runner-up will receive $15,000, thanks to our prize sponsor, Mitsubishi Electric America Foundation.
Consumer technology companies that are already operating in the digital health tech space – of any size – are encouraged to apply for this competition.
We will ask them to engage with the IDD community focus group content created by our partners to create a new solution or modify an existing piece of technology to address a challenge identified by the IDD community.

Learn more and apply.
