Our Story

It all started with Microsoft’s AI for Accessibility Hackathon – Empauwer’s idea of creating an inclusive onboarding framework for Employers of neurodiverse talent won the Hackathon in 2019. Since then, we have worked tirelessly to create a platform that not only bridges the gap between employers and neurodiverse professionals but becomes a catalyst for positive change in people’s lives.

Empauwer is partly funded by The Enabling Lives Initiative Grant, a strategic initiative by Tote Board managed by SG Enable, supports innovations to address emerging needs and brings valuable solutions to the disability sector.

Our Vision

A world of equal opportunities where neurodiverse individuals are recognized for their special abilities, not their disabilities.
