The STRIDE Ecosystem
Three interconnected pillars powering the complete journey of inclusive innovation from identifying real needs to designing solutions and delivering them to the community.
STRIDE Hub
The central intelligence unit of the ecosystem. The STRIDE Hub drives knowledge creation, builds digital and technological platforms, and orchestrates strategic partnerships across all stakeholders. It acts as the connecting force between real-world problems and the innovators who can solve them.
STRIDE Innovation Centres
Nested within partner institutions, Innovation Centres are the creative engines where students, engineers, and PwDs collaborate to transform real-world challenges into meaningful solutions through participatory design and rapid experimentation.
Operating as living labs, these centres nurture empathy-driven innovation, exposing students to real user contexts while empowering PwDs as co-creators, not just end-users.
STRIDE Maker Studios
Community-rooted micro-factories where inclusive ideas become high-quality assistive devices. Equipped with 3D printers, adaptive tools, and quality-assured workflows, these accessible workplaces manufacture and test Innovation Centre designs to ensure durability, safety, and user comfort.
Beyond production, Maker Studios create pathways to dignity and livelihood, offering structured employment, training, and mentorship for neurodivergent and disabled individuals while building hubs of craftsmanship and community empowerment.
