The Demand Pull Project is working to transfer technologies that meet critical needs of people with mobility, hearing, communication, and visual impairments. On-going project activities include active negotiations between technology developers and manufacturers, cooperative research and development agreements with government agencies, prototype testing, collaborative Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) development, and technology licensing for manufacture, distribution and sale.
