In fact, the conversation on the concept and practice of innovation is about to grow louder and longer. [...] The development and commercialization of new products and processes are primary objectives.

[...] Even though they may be highly educated and exceptionally skilled (and keen to participate in the innovation economy), many people with disabilities live on the margins of society.
