Empowering Creativity: Inclusive Innovation and Entrepreneurial Transformation with Disabled Union Through Batik Art

Book excerpt: The book begins with an explanation of the concept of inclusive innovation, defined as the development and implementation of new ideas, products, services, and processes that aim to meet the needs and improve the well-being of marginalized or underserved populations. Inclusive innovation seeks to ensure that the benefits of innovation are shared across society, including those who are often excluded from mainstream economic and technological progress, including students with disabilities. This concept is critical to creating a more just and equitable society. By focusing on the needs of underserved populations and ensuring that the benefits of innovation are shared widely, inclusive innovation can drive sustainable development and improve the quality of life for all. Addressing challenges and promoting strategies that support inclusivity in the innovation process will be key to achieving these goals. The book highlights the role of students with disabilities in developing innovative solutions, emphasizing their contribution to fostering inclusivity in society. The book provides examples of innovations that were originally designed for people with disabilities but were later universally adopted, highlighting the importance of products that are universally designed to accommodate all abilities.
