Designing for All: Accessibility, AI, and the Power of Inclusive Tech with Pete Horsley

When we talk about innovation, disability is rarely part of the conversation — but it should be. In this episode, Kane Jackson speaks with Pete Horsley, founder of Remarkable Tech, to unpack how inclusive design and disability-led innovation are reshaping the future of technology, business, and society.

With 16% of the global population living with a disability, Pete shares why accessibility isn’t a niche issue, it’s a massive missed opportunity. Drawing on decades of work in the sector and personal experiences with his sister Jo, Pete reveals how the disability community has long been at the forefront of technological breakthroughs we all benefit from today — from keyboards and speech-to-text, to remote work.

Together, Kane and Pete explore:

•⁠  ⁠Why the charity model of disability support is broken

•⁠  ⁠How Remarkable Tech is accelerating disability innovation globally

•⁠  ⁠The business case for accessibility and inclusive design

•⁠  ⁠Why remote work and AI have transformative potential

•⁠  ⁠What we all miss out on when we exclude people with disabilities

Whether you're a founder, policymaker, technologist, or just someone who wants to help build a more equitable world, this conversation will change the way you think about inclusion, design, and the future of tech.
