The Asile des aveugles Foundation is launching an Innovation Award to recognise and encourage all initiatives that promote the employment of people with visual impairments. Thanks to the support of the Ingvar Kamprad Fund, three projects will receive awards totalling CHF 60,000. The award ceremony will take place on 9 September 2021 in Lausanne, during the Symposium on Employment for People with Visual Impairments.
