Zero Project Scaling Solutions

The image shows a diverse group of five adults, possibly colleagues, in a brightly lit room with windows. There is a mix of genders and ethnicities, reflecting a multicultural environment. They are gathered around a table with some documents and a laptop, seemingly engaged in a positive and congenial interaction, evidenced by their smiling faces and relaxed postures. The scene suggests a collaborative and inclusive atmosphere, where individuals are valued and respected, contributing to themes of equality and mutual support in a workplace or community setting.
What we do

Zero Project Scaling Solutions advances the transfer of disability innovations to new regions, countries, and communities. The programme is rooted in collaboration—through strategic partnerships, peer learning, and a global network of innovation ecosystems.

    About

    The Programme

    Each cycle, a carefully selected cohort of Scaling Fellows is chosen based on their readiness and specific needs to scale their innovations. Over the course of eight months, Fellows follow a structured yet adaptive framework that maps, tracks, and evolves their individual paths to successful innovation transfer.

  • On stage at #ZeroCon25: Scaling Fellows are seen on stage. They are a diverse group of people in a professional conference setting, with the Zero Project plant icon visible at the back.

    The Fellows

    Selected innovations - called Scaling Fellows - receive individualized scaling support, as well as training, mentoring, networking, and visibility to further replicate their innovations and impact in other geographies in collaboration with local scaling partners.
