Carrie Chow takes center stage as our first guest of 2025, bringing a wealth of knowledge and experience in accessibility. Her journey, rich with stories from her telecommunications and marketing background, reveals a personal passion that aligns with her professional advocacy for disability inclusion. We explore her involvement in events like the CYBATHLON in Zurich and her role at Atos, where she merges her insights in precision medical solutions with digital accessibility initiatives. Carrie exemplifies the intrinsic motivation needed to drive forward both digital and physical assistive technologies, proving that dedication can lead to impactful change. We then navigate through the intricate web of corporate disability inclusion, highlighting the indispensable contributions of individuals with disabilities. 

Our conversation sheds light on how advancements like 3D printing and AI are transforming healthcare, making it more personalized and accessible. We emphasize the power of cross-sector collaboration, recognizing the potential for sectors like elder care and technology to unite in creating cohesive solutions. This synergy could propel corporations and influential events such as CES to new heights in accessibility, making an indelible mark on the future of inclusion.

As we reflect on the progress made so far, there's a palpable sense of gratitude and optimism. We celebrate the achievements and milestones reached in recent years, acknowledging the pivotal role of 2025 in shaping accessibility frameworks globally. With a nod to the long-term benefits of accessibility innovations, we raise a toast to the promising developments on the horizon. Special thanks go to Carrie for sharing her insights, and to our listeners for supporting our journey towards a more inclusive world. Cheers to continuing this important work and embracing the exciting opportunities that lie ahead.
