Special Guest

Simon Dogger – Making the Invisible Visible via Empathic, Inclusive Design
Dutch Design Award Winner Simon Dogger, designer and innovator, transforms personal experience into groundbreaking concepts that redefine inclusivity. After losing his sight in 2010, Simon’s work evolved to deeply human-centered designs, such as the Emotion Whisperer and AI-driven navigation tools for the visually impaired. Based in Eindhoven, he consults on inclusivity and accessibility, develops transformative design education for people with disabilities, and empowers creativity through masterclasses. Join us at the Innovation Café to explore his visionary approach to design and inclusion.

Nephtaly Aniceta – Innovative programmer bridging technology and inclusion
Nephtaly Aniceta is a passionate programmer with experience across diverse projects, from Fyllar, a refill machine now in AH XL, to TU/Ecomotive’s flax-built car and groundbreaking energy sector innovations. Collaborating with Simon Dogger on TikTik, a navigation tool for the visually impaired, Nephtaly explored the power of logic beyond sight. His recent thesis on test automation highlights the rise of visual programming in addressing the complexities of the 4th industrial revolution. 

Join us at the Innovation Café to explore their visionary approach and inspiring perspective to technology, design and inclusion.
