![“I think the government needs to become a bit more expert on this [assistive technology]. It just needs to get up to speed on what is already out there, but then we need to help encourage the next generation of products and bring together the tech people, users and disability charities and employers and see if we can thresh out how to deal with some of the challenges” – Alex Burghart MP, APPGAT Meeting 2018](/pic/orig/media%2FFdVdeO4WAAE3LVu.jpg)

That will allow us to share knowledge and innovation that will also have the benefit of promoting the United Kingdom as a world leader in this field.](/pic/orig/media%2FFcD7NMmWAAQGza_.jpg)
