Blind bit of Difference competition

Be creative and produce a winning business idea or tool to help blind people succeed in tomorrow's economy!

Despite having the ability and the willingness, only one in three blind or partially sighted people of working age are currently in employment. Can you devise an original business solution that will equip people with sight loss for work or a tool to generate an income today and in the future?

The Blind Bit of Difference challenge

The "Blind Bit of Difference" challenge competition is open to all students from University College London and the London Business School. You can enter as a team (maximum of four). Each team will be paired up with a blind or partially sighted person to help you understand the challenges of living with sight loss.

Government Welfare to Work Programmes are not delivering outcomes for the scale of the need so innovative business solutions are called for: Solutions that either favour their employment or create new tools that enable those of use with sight loss to earn a living.
