Touching The Future

Not all innovations are about speed or convenience. Some are about dignity, access, and independence.

eBrelle is a Braille-based smart device that lets blind and visually impaired users read, learn, and work, turning digital files into real-time Braille.

In this episode, we speak with Dr. Nor Afifah Shabani, Founder and CEO, and Md Fadzli Mohamed, the Non-Executive Director of Edote, the company behind eBrelle, about building inclusive assistive tech, expanding access to education and how innovation can be both purpose-driven and commercially viable.
