In this episode, Pete Horsley, Founder of Remarkable, the disability-tech accelerator powered by Cerebral Palsy Alliance, joins Peta to explore how technology, innovation, and lived experience are reshaping the future of accessibility.

Over the past decade, Pete and his team have supported more than 160 startups developing technologies that change disabled people’s everyday lives. Through Remarkable’s partnership with Toyota Australia, the program now contributes over 2,000 hours of engineering and design expertise each year; proving what’s possible when big business and disability innovation truly collaborate.

Pete and Peta discuss how inclusive design benefits everyone, and why disability should never be seen as a niche market. They also unpack how government policy could help stimulate demand for disability-led products and share what to expect from the upcoming Disability Tech Summit 2025.
