The ISPO World Congress 2025, held from June 16–19 in Stockholm, Sweden, brought together pioneers, innovators, clinicians, researchers, and startups from across the globe in the field of prosthetics and orthotics. It was an incredible opportunity for lifeandlimb.ai to showcase our hero product, bionicli, a multi-articulated prosthetic hand designed to mimic human anatomical function while addressing the needs of underserved populations. Our presence at the congress not only marked a significant milestone for our team but also signaled the emergence of Indian deep-tech in the global P&O arena.
We are especially grateful to the Global Disability Innovation Hub, London, and the Imperial Enterprise Lab, Imperial College London, for their unwavering support in making this possible. From coordinating logistics to enabling impactful conversations at our booth, their encouragement was crucial in helping us make our mark on such a global stage. Their belief in inclusive innovation and empowering early-stage startups has helped teams like ours translate vision into visibility.
A heartfelt thank you goes out to Ms. Bindiya Verma, whose energy, resilience, and representation of the Indian startup ecosystem brought an inspiring edge to our collective presence. Her efforts to advocate for South Asian perspectives and showcase frugal innovation models resonated with audiences across continents. Her contribution added great depth to the narrative we shared, emphasizing that impactful design, accessibility, and clinical relevance can originate from regions often underrepresented in global conversations.
The ISPO Congress gave us the platform to network with experts, gain valuable feedback on the bioClasp and bionicli series, and build new partnerships that align with our mission: to create affordable, accessible, and aspirational prosthetic solutions. With each step forward, we remain committed to bringing world-class innovation from India to the global stage—redefining possibilities in the world of bionics.
